[00:00] conbot: are you at the terminal now? or another machine? === paxtoncamaroafk is now known as paxtoncamaro91 [00:01] i am on a tty terminal [00:01] Hi. how do I edit the applications list in GNOME3 to add an icon to an application shown without it? thanks! [00:01] non-emulated [00:01] conbot: logged in under your user name? [00:02] mikeru: i believe so, you can enable the systray item etc [00:02] Q: can I install GNOME3 and keep unity? [00:02] ActionParsnip: not with the notification area (I already have that on) [00:02] conbot: sudo service lightdm start [00:02] mikeru, yes, simply install gnome-shell and then logout and login with a "gnome" session [00:03] ActionParsnip: but I think it used to display download/upload speed in the Dock, much like Chrome displays download progress on the Dock [00:03] I might be confusing it with the Mac version though. [00:03] Gremuchnik: will that install all Gnome 3 stuff? [00:03] mikeru: it can be made to show more, or you can disable te tray icon and it will live in the launcher [00:04] like, all the standard GNOME 3 stuff installed by default in Fedora and ? [00:04] mikeru: i havent used gnome desktop in a while [00:04] mikeru, it will install the G3 desktop manager === wonderworld is now known as darkf_bot === darkf_bot is now known as wonderworld [00:05] ActionParsnip: well yes, I noticed now that I click on the X it will close transmission. what I was asking is if it can display download/upload status in the dock [00:05] ActionParsnip: I only used Gnome 3 once, when it was still alpha or whatever they denoted it (and it was slow and unstable as hell). while I don't intend to stick to it, I'd like to test it === timo_ is now known as Guest48148 [00:06] Is it simple to dual-boot multiple linux distros? [00:06] mikeru: could propose it on brainstorm.ubuntu.com [00:06] I would, but so far I've seen that whatever is proposed on brainstorm is ignored... [00:06] psychx-: if you want to do that just to check out other distros.. install them into a virtual machine with virtualbox.. much easier.. espicaially if you decide to "not" like the distro.. it's easy to delete. [00:07] <_mustafa_> ubuntu's lekka ek sa [00:07] and some blog post I once read said that the only things that they implement from brainstorm, were in fact planned already by Canonical. [00:09] Scunizi: Ok, I will try that. What is the typical app to use? VirtualBox? [00:09] <_mustafa_> GOOGLE? [00:10] psychx-: yep.. virtualbox.org if you want to get version with usb support et.al.. otherwise I believe it's also in the repos with all the non-free stuff ripped out of it. [00:10] mikeru: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/integrate-transmission-with-unity.html [00:10] Scunizi: ok great thank you.. what would you suggest me trying out? I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed right now but I'd like to try some others. I have a CentOS box that was given to me that I usually SSH into, but I want to try something with a GUI out on this pc. [00:11] ActionParsnip: ohhhh, hopefully it supports 11.10 by now [00:11] <_mustafa_> i'm goin' street racing - with a wrx impreza twin turbo - bye bye [00:11] psychx-: pure debian perhaps.. fedora.. there's lots out there.. mint?

[00:56] @Miguelito > Go here for help > http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f64/ [00:56] <|Slacker|> gridbag, yep...it just worked [00:56] I enabled a restricted driver that didn't work. Anyone know a quick command to disable it? The gui is just a black screen, so I can't do it viat he prompt. [00:56] yoaino3v, or you can get it that way that is [00:58] is there a plugin for libreoffice to save to an on-line SVN repository instead of saving to the local drive? [00:59] stealth-: I'm confused about the blank screen/gui/prompt statement. If you can access a terminal on that computer, you can uninstall the driver (e.g. remove the nvidia packages) with apt, then they can no longer load. [01:00] Yes, I'm aware of that. [01:00] stealth-: then other packages will step in and fill the gap - if nvidia, then nouveau or vesa [01:00] But I have absolutely no idea what it installed. [01:00] anyone know why my mouse automatically grabs stuff when I single click for no apparent reason [01:00] stealth-: dpkg-query --list | grep nvid (or whatever) [01:00] and don't know how to replicate it either [01:01] Marmelodov: your mouse could be broken. See if it happens with another mouse [01:01] yeah happens when I use my mouse or touchpad [01:01] Shirakawasuna: I have nvidia-96-updates, nvidia-common, and nvidia-settings-updates. Remove all of those, and things should go back to as they were? [01:01] Marmelodov: like alt+click? [01:01] hey.. how can I reset unity/system settings from the terminal in 11.10 [01:01] no [01:01] is using visudo the suggested way to add someone to sudoers? [01:01] tash: of course [01:01] i changed a couple settings and it crashed [01:01] or, just edit /etc/group and add the user to the admin group [01:01] like if I were to click and hold [01:01] Rotham: For unity and compiz settings only, "unity --reset". [01:02] but stops if i click again [01:02] stealth-: if you remove those, it should hopefully default to nouveau or vesa, which is the default. [01:02] jrib: second question ^ [01:02] Shirakawasuna: Alright, I'll give it a shot. [01:02] tash: depends on what you want to do. If all you want to do is give the user full sudo access, then just add them to the admin group (sudo adduser USERNAME admin). Do not edit /etc/group.... [01:02] hello, I would like to use a custom Xsession, instead of the default Ubuntu session manager, BUT _keep_ the default Ubuntu login manager. Anyone done this? This seems relevant but does not quite meet my needs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession [01:02] Marmelodov, have you made any adjustments to compiz? [01:02] stealth-: it might require a restart or manually unloading modules/restarting X. If you don't know how to do the latter, just reboot (sudo reboot) after uninstalling the packages. [01:02] jrib: I want to give them sudo rights [01:02] jrib: tash: Yes, but adding someone to the "admin" group is the recommended way to simply give someone sudo privileges in Ubuntu. [01:02] argh irc all these years and i still dont know how to use it. could someone answer probably a very simple question [01:02] user is already created [01:02] tash: then add them to the admin group [01:03] I thought it was that too but it was doing it even before I installed compiz [01:03] so, usermod -G admin user ? [01:03] tash: sudo adduser USERNAME admin, does not create user, it adds user to admin group [01:03] Shirakawasuna: It wants to remove ubuntu-desktop as well. [01:03] jrib: oh [01:03] tash: you probably don't want to run that usermod command [01:03] I cannot open phpmyadmin [01:03] Marmelodov, so it is not clicking at the window header and moving it? [01:03] Shirakawasuna: If I remember right, that's a meta package, right? Probably still nto what I want, though... [01:03] *not [01:03] I don't remember the password [01:03] how can i do? [01:04] any ubuntu pros available very quick question ??? [01:04] jrib: thank you.

[01:06] Shirakawasuna: is lightdm the Ubuntu login manager? [01:06] yeah maybe, i tried sudo apt-get fix-my-shit and that didnt work either [01:06] stealth-: if you remove ubuntu-desktop, I think you'll be fine. Just reinstall it afterwards.

[01:16] Icehawk78, actually easybcd would not be in the mbr, cool grub. [01:16] urlin2u: I installed 11.10 from a live-usb second to ensure it would write the boot partition.

Spend some of your time, you can vote three times. If you like KDE support it. Have a nice day. [01:20] and good night! [01:21] Icehawk78, I'm not really solid in this area, but I would think if you get to a cli and remove the fglrx drivers you would be in, I don't thin it is a grub problem. [01:21] Thioka: don't ever spam here, thanks [01:21] think* [01:23] urlin2u: Any idea how to manually boot to a cli from grub? I removed all grub entries except the main "Boot 11.10" and "Boot Windows" [01:24] Icehawk78, try the recovery option in the grub menu, you can get there probably [01:24] urlin2u: Recovery isn't in grub, that was removed [01:26] Icehawk78, you might try hitting e at the menu and inserting nomodeset right before no spash the hitting crtl-x to a cli then removing there, or trying start-x to get to the desktop. === Wally__ is now known as Guest24046 [01:26] Icehawk78, you can chroot from a live cd probably and remove it, I don't know how myself.

[01:47] shur but no1 online. puredyne is based on ubuntu. guess the kernel thing is nearly the same [01:47] !lubuntu [01:47] psychx-: define old, for low resources you have lubuntu ;) the lightest in the official ubuntu family [01:47] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [01:48] persiluhu6666666: This channel only supports Ubuntu. Period.

Anybody know of such an applet? === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [01:50] :-/ === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest80450 === syn-ack is now known as Guest22951 === Guest22951 is now known as syn-ack [01:52] whyameye, I would think you could use a conky. [01:53] hello [01:53] hey [01:53] urlin2u: looks like conky is not standard ubuntu repo. Do you recommend a ppa? [01:53] am I connected to a ubuntu server? [01:54] this is a public IRC server and this is the ubuntu channel :) [01:54] Any one good with gnome themeing? Everything looks right when I log in, but then (after ~ 10s) I loose all themeing and it looks like I'm using win 98. [01:55] whyameye, conky is in the ubuntu repos it is the conky set up that will make something possible, I read that it will only show 2 cores though. Google conky to get screen shots then get the scripts. [01:57] whyameye, actually I missread that conky is limited in showing seperate cores, here is a link that will be useful probably. http://forum.pinguyos.com/Thread-Question-about-conky?page=2 [01:57] urlin2u: it looks like it will do it but I wish it were a unity applet graph rather than on my desktop. [01:59] hi everyone! [02:01] anyone else see where firefox freezes up about once a day, and you can't resize it or anything? [02:02] gridbag: I get it where 'a script has stopped' and tbs refuse to close after that and I have to restart. Same on 7 and now on 8 [02:03] somsip, i don't get how a dns lookup in a part of one page freezes all all open windows. isn't this threaded? why would a script infinite loop wedge other threads? [02:04] gridbag: far too technical question for me [02:05] hey, i've got a question: i'm getting an error in te update-manager package. is anyone having problems with this? [02:05] it seems I've lost some headers [02:07] #twisted [02:08] The error message I'm getting is: Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ar.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages [02:08] is there anything i can do to fix this? [02:09] Ubuntu is a big mess now that Unity is default... it's all locked down where you can't customize anything! How do I change Empathy settings? How do I remove the top bar that wastes my screen space?!? Why is there a global 'Online Accounts' setting that doesn't work yet!???! [02:10] Ubuntu is no longer the best desktop OS [02:10] welder: F11 [02:10] That's not true, you'll get used to it. [02:11] I like the side bar with program icons, but I hate how nothing can be customized anymore [02:11] Just had a weird thing happening with my Ubuntu 10.04. I have dual monitors running separate X, with the second being hooked up to my TV. I was watching MythTV on it, and something happened and now I can't move my mouse from the first screen to the second, so I can't control MythTV. Is there something I can try to fix that? [02:12] So, I'm having an issue: performed a commandline install of 11.10 in vmware and it won't boot. removed quite splash from GRUB and boot appears stuck at or immediatly after "Starting apparmor profiles [OK]" [02:12] I've got a notebook with a bum battery, this causes the system to contstantly throw "battery discharging" notification in the upper right corner and pop up "battery discharging" dialog boxes, how do I get it to stop this without affecting other notificiations? [02:12] usr13: i've been using it long enough to have gotten used to it [02:12] welder: It is simplicity. [02:12] usr13: you can't get used to not being able to customize stuff [02:13] !notunity | welder [02:13] welder: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:13] I think you're just used to the way things were before. You are resisting change. [02:13] <|Slacker|> welder, install ccsm and then you can customize unity a bit [02:13] sunrunner20 - can you boot it in recovery mode? [02:13] usr13: simplicity is great... as long as you provide options for power users to customize for productivity [02:13] Most people are not like you, they want simplicity. [02:14] welder, so what is a power user? [02:14] You might want to try xfce [02:14] usr13: I'm on the Board of my local LUG. I saw the new interface, and I hate it. I'm not resisting change, I'm resisting a reduction in choice and functionality. [02:14] is the 12.04 LTS release a server release or desktop?? [02:14] Ycarene: Yes [02:14] |Slacker|: i've alredy installed ccsm but there is a huge lack of Unity options [02:15] <|Slacker|> welder, hmmm...I see... [02:15] sunrunner - can you start x from recovery mode? [02:15] is the 12.04 LTS release a server release or desktop?? [02:15] lack of options = simplicity === adante_ is now known as adante [02:15] I agree with dj_segfault... I actually like Unity and would use it if I could customize it! [02:15] usr13: lack of options means a dumbed down cage [02:15] ex0: both [02:15] I switched to KDE as fast as I could move [02:16] just was wondering if it was specific towards one more than another [02:16] unity doesn't like my hardware I don't think. [02:16] ex0: Every time Ubuntu is released, all versions (Desktop, server, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu...) are released simultaniously. There are no "Server only" or "Desktop only" releases. [02:16] its not hard to provide options that are hidden from most users by a freaking ADVANCED tab or button! [02:16] i understand, thank you. [02:16] Ycarene: i didn't install x [02:16] usr13: lack of options means lack of power. It would have been very easy to have it default to a simple interface but still have the option of turning advanced features back on. That's not what Gnome/Unity is now though. They've reduced its capabilities [02:17] hmm, ok [02:17] hi i am on ubuntu 11.10 and when i move to trash items on a sd card and then tell ubuntu to eject media, it doesn't delete the files before ejecting the sd card like it use to do in 11.04 [02:17] dj_segfault: exactly! [02:17] how can i get ubuntu 11.10 to delete the files from an sd card when i tell it to eject the sd card [02:17] welder: dj_segfault: This channel is for Ubuntu support, not for complaining about things you don't like. Try #ubuntu-offtopic. [02:17] sunrunner20 - I didn't know that it gave that option, something else starting then that's hanging the system, can you start apparmor from recovery mode? [02:17] ghostnik11, you can bypass the trash to a straight delete if you want. [02:18] Jordan_U: Fair enough. My apologies. I asked a question, then that topic came up. [02:18] hi [02:18] hi [02:18] Jordan_U: i need support... I need help reducing icons in chat windows of Empathy because they are so large I can't see chat history without scrolling up [02:18] I'd like to share some problem I'm having, if that's ok with you [02:19] . [02:19] I've apparently lost some headers in my update manager. The erros says: Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ar.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages [02:19] urlin2u, yeah but the thing is i have already told it to remove the items to trash and now when i load the sd card it loads up with the items not there but the sd card is still full when i check the properties it still shows the sd card being full even though i deleted some stuff off it [02:19] is there a way to do a workaround with this? [02:19] Jordan_U: I need help configuring Unity so the top bar hides or gets combined with the side bar because it wastes my screen realestate [02:19] disconnect [02:19] welder: For IRC I would personally recommend a dedicated IRC client like Xchat or irssi. [02:19] Ycarene: how do i do that? [02:20] ghostnik11, the sd card is a plugin right, it has its opwn trash hidden. [02:20] own* [02:20] Jordan_U: I'm using irssi for IRC [02:20] urlin2u, never seen that will look now for its own trash bin [02:20] <|Slacker|> ghostnik11, it's a hidden folder === floyd is now known as Guest61932 [02:21] ghostnik11, hit crtl-h for hiddden [02:21] sunrunner20 - "service apparmor start" [02:21] welder: Unity can't be configured to hide the top bar, though it is integrated with the menus of maximised windows to save space. If you're not happy with that you'll need to switch to something other than unity. [02:21] Jordan_U: I need help resizing the avatar icons in Empathy for normal Jabber chat [02:21] welder: I'm not familiar with Empathy, sorry. [02:21] Jordan_U: I turned off all the auto-maximize window behaviors... that got annoying fast === Guest61932 is now known as floydsprite1 [02:22] Jordan_U: I use 'Spread Mode' to switch windows === Aang is now known as Zutara [02:22] welder, i cant really help either but can you post a screenshot? [02:22] just so i can see how big they are? [02:22] I just got a brand new laptop (toshiba), dumped windows, and put Ubuntu Studio (natty) on it...and I'm getting random freezes that require hard reboot...anyway to find out whats causing it? [02:22] Ycarene: it appears to work I get an [OK] and the end of string of text and it goes back to a prompt === floydsprite1 is now known as stupid [02:23] Jordan_U: even if a window is maximized, why am I forced to have a blank bar at the top of my screen wasting space!?!? [02:23] so, I'll try to google it then. thanks anyway. nice first impression on the support channel =P. see ya! [02:23] I wonder what's trying to start after that then... [02:23] Gentoo64: one sec [02:23] urlin2u, your exactly correct it was hidden can i just delete them by selecting all the files in the trash folder [02:23] Anyone know how I would bridge my eth0/1 with my ra0 on 10.04? Everytime I bring the bridge up it knocks my Wireless out. === stupid is now known as youare [02:23] ghostnik11, should be able to sometimes it is locked so you would just gksudo nautilus to get to it. === youare is now known as Floydsprite [02:24] welder: This is your last warning. This channel is for Ubuntu support, not discussion of things you don't like. I told you your options for the bar at the top of the screen (use something other than unity). [02:25] urlin2u, b/4 u said i could bypass the way to delete the files without sending them to trash, how can i do that b/c when i select all it only gives me an option of move to trash no delete [02:25] Ycarene: no idea how to check for that (googling to try to learn real quick though) [02:25] urlin2u, or permanent delete [02:25] sunrunner20 - do an ls -l /etc/rcS.d [02:25] ghostnik11, I set my preferences in nautilus to have a bypass of trash I never use it. [02:26] sunrunner20 - numbers go from lowest to highest [02:26] ghostnik11, you still have a choice of trash or delete that way [02:26] ghostnik11, i think hold shift then right click delete [02:27] ghostnik11, do you ever use trash? [02:27] I just got a brand new laptop (toshiba), dumped windows, and put Ubuntu Studio (natty) on it...and I'm getting random freezes that require hard reboot...anyway to find out whats causing it? [02:27] Gentoo64, yeah but sometimes i go into trash and delete permanently [02:27] ah ok [02:28] Ycarene: ls -l /etc/rcS.d yeilds a link to apparmor and urandom [02:28] Gentoo64, holding shift and right clicking doesn't allow me to delete them still only option of move to trash [02:28] <|Slacker|> ghostnik11, select the files you wanna delete and then shift+delete [02:29] ah thats the one [02:29] i knew it was some key and delete [02:29] <|Slacker|> :p [02:30] <|Slacker|> that worked perfectly [02:30] ghostnik11: you should use gconf-editor to change your preferences regarding deleting files with the right-click [02:30] i think its thunar where you have to shift and right click [02:30] <|Slacker|> ghostnik11, ;) [02:30] hspnc, how can i do that, via terminal or is there a gui i can use [02:30] terminal [02:30] type in gconf-edit [02:30] hspnc, there is a ay to do it in the nautilus edit. [02:31] gconf-editor [02:31] either way [02:31] you will end up with a Delete and Trash option [02:31] hspnc, gconf is not installed [02:31] Gentoo64: http://bayimg.com/DaKDdaadp [02:31] it's a single command: gconf-editor [02:31] yeah i am thinking i have to do it the nautilus way b/c he said gconf isn't installed [02:32] hey [02:32] welder, oh yea... [02:32] Jordan_U: there must be a way to change more Unity settings without using the GUI right? [02:32] sunrunner20 - is there an option to do an interactive startup when you boot into recovery mode? (what are the menu options?) [02:32] i thought you meant app icons [02:32] Gentoo64: see how that gets annoying when I have to scroll up to see history? [02:33] yeah [02:33] i used to run ubuntu 10.10.. just upgraded to 11.10, and archive manager cant open .xpi files anymore... is there a way I can get it to open xpi files? (fire fox addons), or is there another file roller that works? [02:33] hspnc, its not installed urlin2u was correct [02:34] <|Slacker|> welder, dude, there's an option in empathy preferences for you to select the size of friggin' avatars [02:34] ghostnik11: Then use one of the options the others suggested. The terminal and rm command are useful [02:35] Ycarene: no, but I tried "resume boot" and I managed to reach a login prompt === patson__ is now known as patson [02:35] hspnc, gconf-editor is pre-gnome3, i believe it's dconf-editor in Gnome 3 [02:35] hi, how can i view my ubuntu desktop remotely? [02:35] chroot: vnc [02:35] is there any way to troubleshoot random lock-ups/freezes [02:35] Lehthanis, try the logs [02:35] chroot: x11-vnc [02:36] chroot: You can install tightvnc (which has a client) [02:36] usr13, but if you use vncviewer , the server should turn on the x11 [02:36] !x11-vnc | chroot [02:36] elz89: it's x11vnc [02:36] Lehthanis, do they happen in certain situations?

[02:36] pangolin: I am answering [02:37] yeah and the /etc/ssh/ssh_config =) [02:37] thank you. === hspnc is now known as slipstream [02:37] elz89, i have a server 10.04, and installed desktop, but now i don't have a screen on server , so i want to remote in.

[02:38] welder, whats empathy for? msn messnger? [02:38] usr13, i have experienced builtin remote desktop, it assumes that the server must turn on the screen [02:38] <|Slacker|> welder, how come dude [02:38] elz89, ssh!! [02:38] anything I can try filtering in the logs? [02:38] Gentoo64: jabber, etc [02:38] any particular lI should look in?og [02:38] elz89, yyou mean with par -XC [02:38] right [02:39] Lehthanis, try var log messages, or var log Xorg.0.log [02:39] chroot: It's called Remote Desktop [02:39] theyre common ones [02:39] chroot: It works.

[02:41] usr13, i have a server 10.04 installed desktop, but the server has no screen, so i want to control it with my own computer, and how? [02:41] Lehthanis: have you tried other OS?

[03:10] pop3 and smtp [03:11] hey, got a fresh install of ubuntu on a new laptop and the colours suck, I open the "Color" from preferences, and all it gives me is my screen with a default profile and no option to calibrate [03:11] or, can i recommend thunderbird? [03:11] I cant even seem to change the contrast [03:11] thunderbird *should* automatically setup server settings [03:11] ok [03:11] Jordan_U: I'm not, nvidia-current came in as a dependency of something else [03:11] ill try that [03:11] just look up thunderbird in the software centre [03:12] it am a new user, dual booting lubuntu, winxp. My NTFS partition was working yesterday, now, its not. Help please. [03:12] or software center if youre american === jason is now known as Guest62563 [03:12] sparrW: If you're using the package manager then it should be all done automagically. What problem are you having? [03:12] im installing [03:12] when you start it, it will ask for your name and email and should set it up automatically [03:12] does hotmail require you pay/turn on the pop3 server? [03:13] richard3: What happens when you try to access your ntfs partition? [03:13] i hop this works. Now i can use the same email address cant i or do i have to configure another eamil account [03:13] ? [03:13] I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and now i'm getting these errors when attempting to run update. http://paste.ubuntu.com/737907/ [03:13] richard3, not working in what way? [03:13] does hotmail need to turn on pop3 access/want you to pay for it? [03:13] Jordan_U: I installed a random app, which depended on nvidia-current so that gor updated. Now many 3d apps say this when I launch them: [03:13] yesterday my NTFS partition was listed in /media under the volume name. now it's just gone [03:13] gmail needs you to enable imap access i know [03:13] Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 270.41.06, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 280.13. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version. [03:13] so it was working a day after I newly installed lubuntu [03:14] because i have three email account and i would like to mannage all three from one place [03:14] sparrW: Applications should not depend on graphics driver packages. What did you install exactly? === derp is now known as Steven_ZHang [03:14] you see what im talking about a_p3son [03:14] with 3 emails, you should just be able to put in your name and the email [03:14] richard3: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? === Steven_ZHang is now known as Guest22886 === Guest22886 is now known as derp [03:15] Jordan_U: sorry, I misremembered. What I installed was nvidia-current-dev, to get GL/gl.h [03:15] have all three email accounts from one place i thought i could do that with evolution [03:15] thunderbird looks in a database of domains of emails (email@domainhere.net) and sets up the correct settings [03:15] thunderbird supports multiple emails, yes [03:15] I only want to know why it was working automatically, then stopped. I don't think it's a hardware thing or anything else [03:15] whats imap stand for? [03:15] just be careful when sending/replying, its very easy to not notice which email its sending it on [03:15] but thank you Jordan :) [03:16] internet message access protocol [03:16] hotmail doesnt have imap access, only pop3 [03:16] richard3: And to help you discover why it stopped working I need to see the output from "sudo blkid". [03:17] imap is a little better though, it reads the message from the server rather than where pop3 downloads all of them and then opens them locally [03:17] that help? [03:17] /dev/sda1: LABEL="4482+7" UUID="4890E75690E74950" TYPE="ntfs" [03:17] Jordan_U: was there a more correct way to get that? === derp is now known as slakr [03:18] richard3: Can you pastebin the output (if any) of "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/"? [03:18] N00b question here. How do i get and install software when there is no apt installed? Also I only have access to the Terminal no GUI. [03:18] once i set up a /etc/init.d script; how do i give it "life" i.e.. make it so it gets run on every startUP? [03:18] it worked [03:18] a_p3rson [03:18] <|Anthony|> I just set up a dual boot win7 ubuntu 11.10. Now i'd like to theme grub so its nicer to look at. I tried grubcustomzer but it didn't do anything for me. === crakdmirror is now known as basepi_ [03:19] <|Anthony|> am i misunderstanding something? === basepi_ is now known as basepi [03:19] Tunix: Are you using Ubuntu? If apt is not installed then you or someone else has done something very wrong. [03:19] <|Anthony|> is the version of grub installed in ubuntu not what's managing the boot? [03:20] Jordan_U: I dont think its ubuntu im trying to find the command that shows me the distro now [03:20] Jordan_U: you just mounted it on /mnt [03:20] Tunix: This is #ubuntu, we only support Ubuntu here. You can try ##linux or your actual distribution's support channel. [03:20] richard3: Did it mount without error? [03:20] Ah thank you [03:20] yup [03:21] richard3: OK. Try "sudo umount /mnt/" and tell me if the partition is listed in nautilus (the file browser). Nautilus mounts partitions when you try to access them, not at boot / login. [03:22] Tunix: You're welcome. === basepi is now known as basepi_ === basepi_ is now known as basepi [03:23] Anyone know how I would bridge my eth0/1 with my ra0 on 10.04? Everytime I bring the bridge up it knocks my Wireless out. [03:23] |Anthony|: Do you just want to change the grub background or do you want an entire theme? [03:24] <|Anthony|> an entire theme... eventually [03:24] <|Anthony|> but for now an image would be a start [03:24] <|Anthony|> thought of using this theme: [03:24] <|Anthony|> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Oxygen+Grub+2+Theme?content=146508 [03:24] Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/hfG3sUqA [03:25] |Anthony|: To change the background add "GRUB_BACKGROUND=/path/to/new/background.png" to /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub". === max is now known as Guest59041 [03:25] <|Anthony|> yeah, i read that on the grub theming page [03:26] richard3: What command did you run / what did you do to get that error message? [03:26] <|Anthony|> i really like that theme i just linked, but i'm concerned cause there's no uninstall script [03:26] my NTFS volume was in the PCMANFM tree, just clicked on it there [03:26] once i set up a /etc/init.d script; how do i give it "life" i.e.. make it so it gets run on every startUP? [03:27] richard3: I'm not sure if pacman is setup properly for this or not. Have you always used pacman or did you ever use nautilus? [03:28] just installed lubuntu yesterday. Anyhow do you think this is a bigger problem, or just fix it manually like the ubuntu website says. and Thanks! [03:28] |Anthony|: An install script should not be needed. I'm looking now to see what the script does. [03:29] <|Anthony|> it writes to grub.cfg and what not [03:29] lubuntu= pcmanfm [03:29] <|Anthony|> not a bad script though [03:31] |Anthony|: It does not write to the grub.cfg. [03:31] Can i change my resolution remotely? [03:32] any suggestions for outputting audio to two USB headsets simultaneously? [03:32] i changed the default resolution, not the gui is too big for the monitor [03:32] its also frozen =\ [03:32] |Anthony|: All the script does is copy the theme files to /boot/grub/themes/Oxygen/, change the GRUB_GFXMODE= option in /etc/default/grub, and add the GRUB_THEME= option in /etc/default/grub. [03:34] |Anthony|: You can do that yourself and document it for future reference so you know how to undo it. Though I agree that almost anything which comes with an install script should have an unstall script as well. [03:35] where does ubuntu store its resoltuion conf file? [03:36] my 'aptitude install wakeonlan etherwake' got stuck on lucid, i had to kill it, then i got "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock" [03:36] weird issue [03:36] how can I force aptitude/apt-get to a sane state? [03:36] try sudo? [03:36] yes it's sudo [03:36] ubuntu see's my friggin printer (dell v305w) but won't print anything. [03:37] xxiao: Is there any output from "pgrep dpkg"? [03:38] Jordan_U: yes a pid number i think [03:39] Jordan_U: should I just kill that as well? [03:39] xxiao: Great. That means that dpkg is still running. Do *NOT* try to kill it. [03:39] <|Anthony|> thanks Jordan_U... now i need to modify it for my screen res. [03:39] in the last 10 years of debian/ubuntu this is the second time aptitude/apt-get failed me [03:40] xxiao: How many terminal windows do you have open? === droid is now known as Guest70911 [03:40] i have a build with 8 threads in pallal(make -j8) so the system is busy(it's a i7), then i want to install wakeonlan/etherwake (both) then aptitude just stuck [03:40] Jordan_U: about 10 [03:41] i waited waited...until i had to kill aptitude, i waited for about 20 minutes [03:41] even paused my build job, did not help [03:41] xxiao: Triple check all of them for something which might be dpkg. Killing aptitude or dpkg should always be very last resorts (after asking for help from places like this if possible). [03:42] Jordan_U: checked all terminals, none is running apt-* or dpkg [03:42] actually one is running this irc another is a vim [03:43] but i can see the dpkg by ps -ef [03:43] xxiao: OK. What happened to the terminal that was running aptitude and what was the last output? [03:44] $ fg [03:44] sudo aptitude install etherwake wakeonlan [03:44] ^C [03:44] ^C^C^C^C [03:44] Killed [03:44] xxiao: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:44] Jordan_U: ctrl-c did not kill it, i had to use another terminal to kill -9 [03:44] hello all due to some mistake(click on delete) I lost my etc folder in ubuntu 11.10 now, how can i recover my etc folder, right now i am not able to start my os [03:44] xxiao: Try killing, but do *NOT* kill -9, dpkg. [03:45] Jordan_U: without -9, it's unkillable [03:46] !aptlock | xxiao this may be required when you're done troubleshooting with Jordan_U [03:46] xxiao this may be required when you're done troubleshooting with Jordan_U: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [03:46] Hi I need a script to cd to the directory that bash script executable file is running from [03:46] sudo kill 14622 [03:46] ehsansn: What is your end goal? [03:47] I have a bash script that converts flv files to mp4 using ffmpeg [03:47] I have to tell it the directory every time [03:47] but I need to have it some how that it would convert the files in the directory that the bash file is running from [03:48] sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock still could not kill dpkg [03:48] gosh, will reboot be helpful? [03:48] xxiao: Reboot. If the lock is still there after rebooting then follow the instructions from ubottu. [03:49] ok, thanks. rebooting [03:49] <|Anthony|> ehsansn, man dirname [03:49] ehsansn ${PWD##*/} [03:50] Il try that now [03:50] <|Anthony|> pwd is good too [03:50] <|Anthony|> probably better in your case [03:51] so how would it be with cd? [03:51] ehsansn: How are you running the script. Normally what you care about is what directory the user was in (Current Working Directory) when they ran the script, not the location of the script itself. [03:51] Jordan_U, help me [03:52] <|Anthony|> dir = $(pwd) ; cd $dir [03:52] hi all [03:52] hello all [03:52] topics? [03:52] need help with permissions in a haskell mult-thread program [03:53] i'm writing a haskell code using threads, and need do compile to run ok [03:53] dir = $(pwd) ; cd $dir didnt work [03:53] very sofisticated to me [03:53] im a brand new user [03:53] but, when i try to execute this executable file, show "permission denied" [03:54] but i wanna learn how all this works [03:54] |Anthony|: It's best if you test code / instructions whenever possible before giving them to users. [03:54] My script is like this #!/bin/bash [03:54] cd Videos [03:54] for f in *.flv; do echo "Converting $f"; g=`basename $f .flv`; ffmpeg -sameq -i $f $g.mp4 || echo FAILED; done [03:54] flv-->mp4 [03:54] now [03:54] ehsansn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:54] $relpath; pwd [03:55] I need to have sth instead of the first cd line [03:55] ehsansn: Why do you need to use cd at all? The default current working directory is the current working directory from the parent process. [03:56] $relpath; pwd worked great [03:56] thankyou [03:56] ty gloomer [03:56] I am trying to set up a my own web server using a VPS I purchased. I think everything is set up correctly however how do I set up my DNS so my domains point to my IP? I literally have no idea how to do this. [03:56] ehsansn: Wait. I think you're making a mistake still. [03:56] what? [03:56] np eHAPPY [03:56] where? [03:56] np ehsansn [03:56] ehsansn: Can you post the entire (fixed) script to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ? [03:56] yes [03:57] Johannes1, this is done through the webinterface of the registrar [03:57] is there a way to give a specific file a custom icon? [03:57] so whoever you bought the domain from [03:57] like i want my icons on the desktop [03:57] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/737926/ [03:57] to have a different appearance [03:57] from the file type appearance [03:57] gloomer: No I got that part. But I need it to point to a nameserver ... but I haven't set up a nameserver. How do I do that on my end, I mean. [03:57] you don't need a domain server [03:58] use something like afraid.org [03:58] then you can point your domain all sorts of places [03:58] where is the mistake mr Jordan_U [03:58] ? [03:58] ehsansn: If you remove line 2 your script will be functionally the same. Line two will do nothing but print the current working directory. [03:59] ehsansn: The '$relpath;' part will literally do nothing. Performs no function, produces no output. [04:00] Il try it again now [04:00] yup just prints path [04:00] if you want to use path you need to store it in a variable [04:00] but you dont need it for that script [04:02] oh lol yes you guys are right [04:02] if I just double click on it and choose run in terminal it will do what I want [04:03] what I did before is I ran it from within terminal and it converted files in the home directory [04:04] <|Anthony|> Jordan_U, Thank you for correcting me in a non-dickish way :) [04:04] <|Anthony|> srsly [04:05] Jordan_U: reboot and dpkg-reconfigure -a fixed it, thanks a lot! [04:05] thank you guys [04:05] goodbye [04:05] xxiao: You're welcome. [04:06] 64bit+heavy.cpu+aptitude wakeonlan together made it happen, dare not to reproduce it [04:06] hi everybody [04:07] kernel^klink, yah vole [04:07] lol, hi there [04:08] :D [04:08] bored, figured I'd come hang here [04:08] maybe help someone if I can [04:09] How does transmission filter ipv4? [04:09] now that I do not know [04:09] although I use transmission [04:10] naked89tt: I'd wager using ip filtering via blocklist though [04:10] kernel^klink, if you don't know the answer, then don't answer ;) you can use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chit-chat if you wish (support only here) [04:13] So, I'm having issues upgrading to 11.10. I'm attempting to play nice with the repo, but the dist-upgrade left me with around 3k packages waiting to be upgraded. Is just upgrading the packages manually and then doing a dist-upgrade going to work? I seem to remember doing something similar when 11.04 broke itself and I had to install from a tty.... [04:14] Anyone with similar experiences in here? [04:16] lorddelta: no idea, but it sounds shady ... [04:16] any one no why my browser is having issues on ubuntu [04:16] any one no why my browser is having issues on ubuntu [04:17] floydsprite: quit it. [04:17] theorem: Oh? Which part? [04:17] im not sure whats going on [04:18] for some reason i cant setup yahoo mail on thunderbird ? [04:18] ...I guess we'll just see how it goes, [04:19] floydsprite: could you be more specific? [04:19] i just installed ubuntu on my wifes comp and her windows browsers worked fine now all of a sudden it acting like my Internet is slow [04:19] floydsprite: uh, really ? [04:20] floydsprite: this is a windows question , followin an ubuntu installation ? [04:20] some times it loads the page in sec other time it take mins [04:20] are you still in ubuntu ? [04:20] yes i am [04:21] kermit^klink how? [04:21] no its a ubuntu ? my windows is fine [04:21] ImTheDude: if you mean imap, you have to pay for it, you can use pop3 [04:22] ImTheDude: just use gmail and use pop3 or imap for free. [04:22] from what i can tell its only slow in the browser [04:23] floydsprite: you're not giving me a lot to go on. [04:23] ImTheDude: What theorem means, I'm sure, is to setup yahoo forwarding inside your gmail account. You can still use the yahoo account name, just under gmail. [04:23] what are you looking for theorem [04:23] lorddelta: that's also good. [04:24] i will give the comps life storry [04:24] floydsprite: how about some bandwidth statistics, ping time, traceroutes , RTT, ... [04:24] hello all due to some mistake(click on delete) I lost my etc folder in ubuntu 11.10 now, how can i recover my etc folder, right now i am not able to start my os [04:24] floydsprite: to a known site [04:24] harsh343: it defaultly gets move to the "recycle" bin [04:24] harsh343: did you delete it from there ? [04:25] theorem, i search in trash also but not able to find them [04:25] now my os is not start [04:25] one sec theorem [04:25] Anyone know how I would bridge my eth0/1 with my ra0 on 10.04? Everytime I bring the bridge up it knocks my Wireless out. [04:25] harsh343: you're hosed then --- you'll need to recreate the key ones [04:26] i dont get it i set up three accounts in thunderbird and one was yahoo but it ddnt take i cant verify my password or email address ? [04:26] Hey guys.. [04:26] theorem, hows i am able to recover my etc folder again [04:26] ? [04:26] the others worked [04:26] i have an ubuntu usb installation [04:26] hi anyone useing compiz on ubuntu 11.10 that can help me out ever time that i try setting up the desktop i lose all my desktop icons [04:26] Is the mail server of the MLs down??? [04:26] harsh343: you don't ... you'll need to remake the config files from a fresh installation --- modify them accordingly from there [04:27] the desktop cube [04:27] theorem, means again i have to need an fresh installation [04:27] ? [04:27] is it possible through cd [04:27] oldschool, how are you trying to set up the desktop in compiz? [04:27] harsh343: no, you can do it without a fresh install, you just need to take copies of the files from something similar -- like a fresh install and modify them to fit your system [04:27] Zutara, just FYI (if it applies) but as noted on this page, most wireless don't support bridging - good luck. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking [04:27] do u understand what im trying do? [04:28] hm [04:28] loarddelta [04:28] do you understand what im doing [04:28] oldschool, the cube is not difficult you using any links or just winging it? [04:28] harsh343: I'm assuming you were logged in as root if you were allowed to delete /etc, so look to see if /root/.local/share/Trash/etc exists. (Also, this is why you shouldn't login as root. :) ) [04:29] ImTheDude: Mostly...you mentioned two accounts, worked, which ones worked, and what protocols were they using? [04:29] urlin2u all i do is check the desktop cube on compiz and i lose all my icons [04:30] brjannc, as i say i m not able to start the os now so how can possible them so see all possibility [04:30] my just left with the wallpaper [04:30] zykotick9_: thanks for the link. I guess I'm screwed trying to connect my 360 to the internet when my router is downstairs, eh? [04:30] ok so i cant find that info on ubuntu im a noob theorem [04:30] harsh343: Boot using a livecd [04:30] theorem, i am not able to understand them like if i use usb or cd after that what should be kept in my mind while installation, [04:30] Is the mail server of the MLs down??? [04:30] hey, does anyone know if you can do some shenanigans to flip the microphone/headphone jack's purposes? i have a dead headphone jack and don't care for the microphone. [04:31] well lorddelta the ones that worked are my live hotmail account and my gmail account but the yahoo password wont verify and it wont work. the other two that do work use pop3 and imap. [04:31] harsh343: you might be able to boot from the instllation media and copy the /etc directory from ther eonto the disk -- you'll be dealing with quite a bit of cifferences though -- it's worth a shot [04:31] floydsprite: traceroute www.google.com [04:31] floydsprite: ping -c 10 www.google.com [04:32] oldschool, the refresh is not good in natty ubuntu and the releses afterward you need a plan and a way to restart compiz here is a link I used. This was for Natty but is totally applicable read carefully. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/ [04:32] ImTheDude: Well huh, apparently yahoo offers free imap/pop these days...found this...it might help, no promises though http://www.crasseux.com/linux/ === jason is now known as Guest38588 [04:32] what is that loarddelta? [04:32] ImTheDude: seems like Yahoo uses a modified version of IMAP, so you can't use a normal IMAP client.... [04:34] urlin2u ok thanks for the link [04:34] ImTheDude: I'd recommend you find someone/learn how to compile this stuff yourself, it doesn't look like there's an easy fix for Yahoo IMAP. Don't give up though, I don't know everything. :) [04:35] hey, does anyone know if you can do some shenanigans to flip the microphone/headphone jack's purposes? i have a dead headphone jack and don't care for the microphone. [04:35] mister2: the hardware usually doesn't let you do something like that -- the closest thing is probably the line-out jack [04:36] theorem mk, i think i'm just going to get a usb headphone set or usb soundcard [04:36] i just installed ubuntu using the windows installer and i found grub wasn't installed [04:36] I went back to gnome instead of kde [04:36] not a big deal just thought it would be more simple to have three accounts, if there is a way im going to find out but if not im just going to forget it thanks though lorddelta . [04:36] Dropbox looked like a pain to set up in kde [04:36] mister2: If the jacks are simply connected to the motherboard with wire headers, you could potentially connect the mic jack to the headphone connector. But that's a bit beyond ubuntu support :) [04:36] mister2: sounds like extra work -- how did the port die ? [04:37] theorem unknown, it came to me dead [04:37] ImTheDude: the only "easy" thing I can think of is to setup your gmail so that it uses the yahoo account [04:37] it's a dell ini 10 [04:37] theorem u get my results [04:37] ImTheDude: You mentioned your gmail already works. So if you setup the account via accounts in gmail, and ask Yahoo to forward everything to gmail, you should be good. [04:37] how would i do that lorddelta [04:38] floydsprite: ? [04:38] does anybody know how to install grub on a pre-existing installation that doesnt have grub [04:38] mister2: Oh, it's a netbook. Nevermind, hardware monkeying isn't really an option then [04:38] brjannc i just finished putting it back together ;) [04:38] and since it doesnt have grub i have no access to ubuntu [04:39] but i think the simplest solution is just a usb sound card [04:39] so i go to yahoo setting and ask it to forward the mail to my gmail? [04:39] Natecat, use a LiveCD, then chroot into the HD install - see "/msg ubottu grub2" for the link to the grub2 help page [04:40] ImTheDude: In gmail: Little gear in the top right corner -> Accounts tab, "Add another e-mail address you own" [04:40] oh [04:40] ImTheDude: In Yahoo: wherever their forward to address button is. [04:40] hello avery one [04:40] what ae we talk about now? [04:41] zykotick9:i dont have any blank disks. i got ubuntu using windows installer is there anyway to do it without the disk? [04:41] Natecat, if you used WUBI then disregard what i suggested. Good luck. [04:41] ... [04:42] should i reinstall and hope the installer works properly this time? [04:42] como ago para ir al chat de ubuntu en español [04:42] Natecat: try Virtual Machine... [04:43] Natecat, are you letting th app work as presented and not building a partion? [04:43] i have a partition of 200 GB for ubuntu [04:43] when i try to boot into ubuntu it goes to command line [04:43] !espanol|zobugtel [04:43] zobugtel: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:43] Natecat, and your using a wubi install? [04:43] yes [04:43] ubuntu-es [04:43] it didnt install grub for some reason [04:44] Natecat, that is your problem it does not work that way. [04:44] ImTheDude: Yeah it looks like yahoo doesn't wanna let you forward for free. So you'd have to use the other, more technically involved option I gave you. [04:44] urlin2u: what do u mean? [04:44] Natecat, boot a ubuntu cd and install it to that partition it has to be a ext type not a NTFS [04:45] oh so i have to reformat? [04:45] * skgolden is away: i'm not here at the moment. [04:45] Natecat, wubu is not a partition install it is a file in windows as is limited to 30 gigs. [04:45] wubi* [04:46] not according to the guide on ubuntu's website [04:46] Natecat, link me to that guide. [04:47] nvm can i just move files to main partition or do i have to reinstall [04:47] theorem, after inserting bootable USB stick now what option i select try ubuntu or install ubuntu 11.10 [04:48] brjannc, same Question [04:48] loarddalta that didnt work ether thats crazy. [04:48] I want to recover my etc folder [04:48] Natecat, not knowing what you have done I can't answer, and you seem to have some wires crossed in your understanding not sure where, but as I have exsplained is how it is. [04:48] ImTheDude: just set yahoo pop3 [04:49] i gve uyahoo is to stubborn [04:49] harsh343: you want "try ubuntu." [04:49] ok im going to do a reinstall [04:49] ot yielding to reason or persuasion [04:49] not yielding to reason or persuasion [04:51] oh the installation size is how much data is on the VM [04:51] it's a VM right? [04:51] brjannc, and also i am using xp OS and also i do not want to disturb this [04:51] really i tryed that xangua [04:52] Natecat, okay, good luck just give this page a read as well. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [04:52] harsh343: No worries, booting from usb and selecting "try ubuntu" won't change anything on the disk, and we won't need to do anything that will mess with your windows install [04:53] can anyone recommend a good VPS or Dedicated Hosting Company for around $100 / month? I'm looking for 4GB Ram. Thank you. [04:53] ok thanks [04:53] what Tony? [04:53] Is the mail server of the MLs down??? [04:53] I'm looking for web hosting [04:54] what ram got to do with vps's [04:54] who is stupid enough to allow only 5GB of free space on there machine [04:54] brjannc, the same screen appear after clicking try ubuntu now, what next ? [04:54] Natecat: Me [04:54] * Zutara only has 1.5 left [04:54] harsh343: What do you mean by the same screen? [04:55] brjannc, means now i am under the ubuntu os [04:55] Is the mail server of the MLs down??? [04:55] means dekstop appears same as previously [04:55] harsh343: Ah, okay. Did it automatically mount any of your partitions? If it did, there will be icons on the desktop [04:55] is there anyway to soft reboot ubuntu while it is frozen [04:56] two icons on my dekstop install ubuntu 11.10 and Examples [04:56] harsh343: They may have labels (like WINDOWS) or just partition names (like /dev/sda1) [04:57] Tony: I can get you 2GB for $80 or 4GB for $160, but not 4GB for $100. [04:57] harsh343: Okay. Do you know what partition you installed ubuntu onto? [04:57] can you tell me your comany name, or PM me please? Thanks [04:58] Is the mail server of the MLs down??? [04:58] brjannc, i think in D Drive in C drive i install XP [04:59] harsh343: Partitions are treated differently in linux; but that's okay, we can find it. :) Open up a terminal window and type sudo sfdisk -l (that's a lowercase L) [04:59] ok [05:00] harsh343: Ideally, there will be one line that says "Linux" under the system column [05:04] brjannc, this is the output http://pastebin.com/05bRfAmC [05:05] harsh343: Excellent. Okay, what we're going to do now is mount your ubuntu disk so we can see what's going on. Type sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu and then sudo mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/ubuntu [05:06] harsh343: (And make sure you double-check your typing before hitting enter; don't want to mount the wrong thing by mistake :) ) === ok is now known as ok_wait [05:07] ok [05:07] could someone be so kind and point me in the right direction to ask a question about ssh connections? [05:07] harsh343: ok as in all done? [05:08] ok_wait: You can ask here :) [05:08] hi. is it possible to create a bootable NTFS disk using disk-utility? My usb disk appears to be readonly now after I formatted it. [05:09] brjannc, yes now what next [05:09] ? [05:09] Which package contains the terminfo database? I think I accidentally uninstalled it cause none of my ncurses apps work =/ [05:09] harsh343: First, let's check to see that your etc directory is actually gone; type ls /mnt/ubuntu/etc [05:10] Lewoco_: ncurses-term ? [05:10] brjannc, and sudo ? [05:10] do stick nots go away or they just stay on your desktop [05:10] ok, there's computerA and computerB on a lan and from computerA i say ssh -X username@computerB 'command' and it shows an instance of computerB's 'command' on computerA's screen, but when computerB says the same command (ssh -X username@computerA 'command' the 'command' shows up on computerA's screen. what gives? i'm not even sure which one is right.. :/ [05:10] brjannc: Nah, you don't need sudo for that [05:11] nots=notes [05:11] ok [05:11] I am looking to run a porn site from an Ubuntu server... any good guides you all suggest? [05:11] harsh343: You'll either see a directory listing, or "no such file or directory" [05:12] you get hot chicks i work for free haha [05:12] brjannc, output http://pastebin.com/Wu44H34Y [05:12] i take that back i work for food [05:12] my question is how do i control which computer's screen the 'command' shows up on [05:13] somsip, Sounds like the what I need but ccmake still didn't work after installing it. [05:13] that was a joke yall ant laughing though [05:13] Lewoco_: not sure about that. I just use ncursrs-term to give me a terminfo for urxvt [05:14] harsh343: Okay, good. Well, not good, since it is in fact gone, but we're at least in the right place :) Now, try sudo ls /mnt/ubuntu/root/.local/.share/Trash/etc [05:14] somsip, Hmm, aptitude uses ncurses right? [05:14] harsh343: Ah, sorry, i typo'd. sudo ls /mnt/ubuntu/root/.local/share/Trash/etc [05:15] does anybody know a good place to ask this question? [05:15] somsip, And that works so maybe it's not a problem with ccmake. [05:15] ImTheDude: reinstall sense of humour, that one was silly. [05:15] brjannc, output http://pastebin.com/G521crm7 [05:15] ok_wait: Generally speaking, if you ssh from A to B and run an X program, the program should show up on A. [05:16] ok [05:16] i was thinking of food and i already had a sandwitch [05:16] harsh343: Sorry, there was an extra dot in the first directory I asked you to check; see my revised command above [05:17] brjannc, same output again [05:17] brjannc, would you know how to change that? [05:18] theorem i think its my video card sonds wierd but i think thats it [05:18] Hi, I'm wondering when I'm using something like tty1, if it's possible to use xmonad or other window managers with it [05:18] like dwm, etc === Guest38588 is now known as jasef [05:19] harsh343: Okay. We'll try and brute force find it, then -- try sudo find /mnt/ubuntu/ -type f -iname "debian_version" [05:19] brjannc, http://pastebin.com/t5KmbhFV ouput [05:19] I'd like to tile apps in the tty, you see [05:19] crassus: All x dm will use vt, but you can xinit -- :1 vt1 (so xterm will land on tty1) [05:20] qin: not sure I understand you fully [05:20] crassus: maybe: fbterm, tmux, screen [05:20] harsh343: This will take a while to run, because it's going to search everywhere. But it's basically looking for a file that should only exist in the /etc directory [05:20] oh, so tmux will work with the ttys q? [05:20] qin: ^^ ? [05:21] crassus: Yes, it will [05:21] ok [05:21] ok_wait: It depends on the program -- what are you running? [05:21] oh ok [05:21] thanks [05:21] lemme try [05:21] ...how do I launch another xterm from within a tty without killing the first? [05:21] just suspend with Ctrl+z maybe? [05:21] crassus: You cant [05:21] why's that [05:21] I get the intuitive reason why [05:22] but not the ... "reason" why, if you know what I mean [05:22] whats that fix for when your videos are choppy because ubuntu dont like your video card [05:22] crassus: since, most likely you will crash xserver, use another tty and display [05:22] brjannc, nautilus [05:22] ok [05:22] thans qin [05:23] this is really pissing me off............ [05:23] brjannc, this is the output http://pastebin.com/i9T01BZg [05:23] anyone [05:23] crassus: Maybe the is way to wrap xinit, to have it in background, not known to me. === eric is now known as LLStarks [05:24] if you uninstall an application and it dont fully uninstall how can i remove it [05:24] tmux is very nice with tty [05:24] thanks qin [05:24] ok_wait: one second [05:24] crassus: Welcome. [05:24] best terminal browser recommendation qin? [05:24] i have tried lynx, it's bad [05:25] harsh343: Aha, looks like we found it. Run sudo cp -r /mnt/ubuntu/root/.local/share/Trash/files/etc /mnt/ubuntu/ [05:25] i want to try w3m and elinks probably next [05:25] crassus: I prefer elinks, coz of tabs [05:25] ImTheDude: How did you uninstall it and what went wrong? [05:25] neat, thanks qin [05:25] ok_wait: So, from computer B you're running "ssh -X user@A nautilus", and the nautilus window is showing up on A's screen, not B's? [05:26] hey anyone no how to fix the problem with my videos being all choppy [05:26] through software center and i uninstalled it but i still see it listed inapplications [05:26] brjannc, yea and from a it shows up on a as well [05:26] brjannc, after using this again i am on the terminal [05:26] floydsprite: clarify what videos, players, and so forth.. [05:26] brjannc: No, on A, ssh -e to execute remotely [05:27] i have a desktop that has no way to access internet except for wireless.. i have a Netgear WNA1100 n150 usb wifi adapter, but need the drivers. check netgear website via my laptop(using it now).. they dont have the driver itself.. just a setup.exe.. i dont have WINE because i have no internet... so i just use the windows driver for it off my other desktop (it works fine on there). but i need NDISGTK to use the windows driver. cool. download [05:27] NDISGTK deb file and try to install... needs other things to run... cant update ubuntu becuase I HAVE NO INTERNET. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU [05:27] ImTheDude: What application? [05:27] ImTheDude: could be the menus have just not refreshed. [05:27] harsh343: Okay. One second, we may have to try that again -- need to check something really quickly [05:27] evolution mail [05:27] ok [05:27] best terminal mail client you can recommend qin? [05:27] i tried shuting down and its still there after i rebooted [05:27] the os [05:28] Could someone tell me how to check from the console if I have installed Ubuntu correctly? Unity is all garbled, but the text mode in recovery works. I know nothing about this but I'm trying to learn. [05:28] crassus: mutt (or pine if you are neurotic) [05:28] henric_: whats your video card/chipset? [05:28] there is a line for compviz or somthing any one remember it [05:28] why if you're neurotic qin? [05:28] what do you mean with that? [05:28] deku-tree: you can install ndisgtk and ndiswrapper from the ubuntu cd [05:29] floydsprite: you refering to the 'enable vsync' (i think) compiz setting? [05:29] also, will my computer know to suspend or whatever if i'm using the tty when I close the lid qin? [05:29] crassus: That mutt is a bit more sane (and probably powerful) than pine [05:29] crassus: If upower runs? Yes [05:29] deku-tree: you just need to add the ubuntu cd to sources list from Software Sources [05:29] is it running by default qin? [05:30] lemme check ps [05:30] whats the alternative for Flash [05:30] Nvidia GT 240. I suspect I need the proprietary drivers, but don't know how to get them from the console. I writing this from WinXP that is also installed on the machine. [05:30] sweet, it is [05:30] harsh343: Almost exactly the same thing again -- just -a instead of -r this time. sudo cp -a /mnt/ubuntu/root/.local/share/Trash/files/etc /mnt/ubuntu/ [05:30] god bless ubuntu [05:30] floydsprite, gnash is one [05:30] so awesome [05:30] crassus: Amen [05:31] brjannc, again i am on the terminal [05:31] ok, last question qin: is there a way to quickly lock my computer if it's running on tty? [05:31] henric_: jockey-text should do that. [05:31] harsh343: Okay. Please pastebin ls -al /mnt/ubuntu/etc [05:31] on normal gnome, I can just do ctrl+alt+l [05:32] ok [05:32] dr_willis: Nvidia GT 240. I suspect I need the proprietary drivers, but don't know how to get them from the console. I writing this from WinXP that is also installed on the machine. [05:32] henric_: or boot using the nomodeset option, and that should get you to the desktop where you can then use the 'addational drivers' tool [05:32] !nomodeset | henric_ [05:32] henric_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [05:32] ok_wait: I'm really not sure why that would happen -- it really shouldn't be. :) [05:32] crassus: I am using tmux, so just locking session, not really sure. [05:32] how would i remove something from the application tab if it didnt full uninstall though Ubuntu Software Center? [05:32] ok_wait: (And sorry for having divided attention) [05:33] ImTheDude: find its .desktop file and delete it.. or use the alacarte program [05:33] brjannc, output is http://pastebin.com/GvjffAyg [05:33] what alacate? [05:33] ok_wait: My only guess is to investigate the DISPLAY environment variable, which is what X programs use to determine where they should pop up. [05:33] qin: you can lock session in tmux? how? [05:33] ImTheDude: a menu editor app for gnome [05:33] brjannc, that's ok, thank you for trying :) [05:33] !info alacarte [05:33] alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.2-2ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 52 kB, installed size 348 kB [05:34] if im spellingit right. :) [05:34] brjannc, ok i'll look into it thank you again [05:34] harsh343: Pastebin the output of the ls command too please? ls -al /mnt/ubuntu/etc [05:34] qin, thank you as well for your input [05:34] crassus: man tmux | less -p lock-session [05:34] can i install it in software center ? [05:34] Great. I will try this out. If I can't straighten it out I'll come back on from my laptop so I can both ask and look at the command line at the same time. Thanks! [05:35] ok_wait: Sure thing, good luck! [05:35] thanks so much qin. you are truly wise master.

[05:36] harsh343: Beautiful. okay, sudo umount /mnt/ubuntu [05:36] this is what nutilus looks like http://i.imgur.com/Jkxp8.png [05:36] one sec dr, [05:37] JPeterson: tried to reset unity with¿: unity --reset [05:37] harsh343: Assuming it unmounts cleanly (and doesn't complain about it being in use or something) you can try and reboot back into ubuntu. [05:37] brjannc, ok again on the terminal [05:37] xangua, thanks. sorry for late response. i was busy raging. anyway, quick question. if NDISGTK and NDISWRAPPER can be installed via CD. why on earth weren't they installed to begin with? [05:38] harsh343: Okay, reboot, pull out your USB stick, and try and boot into your ubuntu install again [05:38] dr_willis how would you go about fixing floydsprites issue if local videos play fine? [05:38] dr. hulu videos work just fine [05:38] xangua: yup here's the screenshot http://i.imgur.com/5l1OC.png [05:38] deku-tree: disk space limitations... [05:38] brjannc, afre reboot again i select try ubuntu [05:39] skypent: that would point to it being a flash issue mainly. [05:39] after* [05:39] skypent: or an issue with the specific service. [05:39] harsh343: No, you need to remove the live USB stick and boot into *your* ubuntu install from grub [05:39] floydsprite: paste a url to a problem video. === chris_ is now known as Guest87054 [05:39] JPeterson: tried also to delete compiz settings on your home¿¿ i believe is ~.compiz [05:40] brjannc, I am not able to understand means i remove my USB right now after that what next ? [05:40] xangua: I have no such file [05:40] harsh343: As in, the same grub menu that shows your Windows XP install, also [05:40] http://www.videobb.com/watch_video.php?v=mX6NWSicFWAw [05:40] it is http://www.videobb.com/watch_video.php?v=mX6NWSicFWAw [05:41] qin: upower does not seem to be running, however `ps aux | grep upower` shows upowerd daemon is running. how do I make sure upower is running? [05:41] harsh343: I'm asking you to reboot and attempt to boot into your installation of ubuntu, just like you would have done *before* your /etc directory got trashed. :) [05:41] JPeterson: got the directory right here on lucid, unless compiz uses another directory now [05:42] brjannc, means after removing USB i reboot my system and start my previous ubuntu which is already installed ? [05:42] also, my normal cmdline keyboard shortcuts (like jumping word to word) isn't working [05:42] harsh343: Yep! [05:42] ok [05:42] xangua: well what can i tell you, there's .cache, .config, .dbus etc, no .compis [05:42] ok, most are actually. just not the word jumping. others like erasing whole line (ctrl+u) and erase to end of line (ctrl+k) are working fine [05:42] JPeterson: is compiz, not compis [05:43] is there a reason for this behavior in tty? [05:43] Is it possible to make an image of ubuntu on an online box to another harddrive connected ? (and connect to the box in ssh console...) === reo is now known as Guest84692 [05:43] I can close a lot of services before doing it... [05:43] dr_willis: the site is http://www.videobb.com/watch_video.php?v=mX6NWSicFWAw [05:44] Puppy Linux rocks! I just can't figure out the harddrive install of it [05:44] booh-: Technically, yes, but if you're not in single-user mode, things tend to get weird because programs are still running and the disk is changing while you're trying to image it. [05:44] i tried to uninstall evolution but i still see the tab listed in application . how do i remove the evolution tab from application? [05:45] crassus, are you sure your shell behaviour isn't set to vi instead of emacs? (which I prefer anyway, but could, though unlikely, be the cause of some of your trouble) [05:46] Hi there, I'm trying to compile software and I'd like to know, where is the path to the standard libraries specified? [05:46] something like /usr/include/c++/4.6.1 . [05:46] I want to change it to use /usr/include/c++/4.4.6 [05:46] but I don't know which config file or environment variable I need to edit [05:46] and I don't want to uninstall gcc 4.6 or anything drastic like that. [05:46] brjannc, I am able to start my previous ubuntu 11.10 but not display all the options [05:47] sion: i'm not sure, but I'd prefer vi [05:47] harsh343: What do you mean by display all the options? [05:47] xangua: searched the whole ./, there's no compiz [05:47] or whatever keeps the normal word jumping stuff [05:47] *.compiz [05:47] only shows file, edit, view, Go, bookmarks and help in the top line not displaying all the features of ubuntu 11.10 [05:47] how do i change back to ubuntu classic from the command line? [05:47] JPeterson: are you using unity2d¿ [05:47] like in irssi now [05:47] I can't jump word by word [05:47] but I can erase fine [05:47] xangua: couldnt' tell you [05:48] how do i tell? [05:48] brjannc, would you know how i would execute 'xset dpms force off' for example on the remote machine? [05:48] JPeterson: if you didn't had 3d efects from the beggining, you are [05:48] xangua: was using ubuntu classic in 11.04 and upgraded to 11.10 [05:48] and it actually turn off the remote machine's monitor [05:49] harsh343: Did you perhaps delete any other potentially important directories besides /etc? :) [05:49] well crassus depending on the program you can set it, for example in your .bashrc you can have "set -o vi" for bash or "bindkey -v" in .zhsrc for zsh...? [05:49] not seeing like this http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/10/shuttleworth-unity-shell-will-be-default-desktop-in-ubuntu-1104.ars [05:50] crassus, then you could jump words, by switching to command mode and pressing w, same as in vi/vim [05:50] ok_wait: You could try ssh -X user@host "DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force off" [05:50] hey, I would like to have gcc-4.3 in a current version of Ubuntu.... [05:50] hello ppl. so im trying to install 10.04 on an old computer but i need to unshadow the bios first.. how can i do this? [05:51] do you know any way to do that? [05:51] brjannc, no i do not delete any other things, but may be if its my fault again [05:51] !notunity | JPeterson [05:51] JPeterson: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic === jesus is now known as Guest14340 [05:52] harsh343: Hmm, I'm not sure, then. We restored the /etc directory to what it was before it was deleted, so I don't there there should be any issues there... Are you logged in as a different user or anything like that?

[05:53] sion, hm ok... I had hoped for a simpler way, but thanks [05:53] yes [05:53] compiz desktop cube [05:53] JPeterson, umm, ya I saw your pasted image before. That looks like a very broken system, good luck. [05:53] brjannc, that's perfect thank you very much [05:53] eltigre, the first way is not really complicated, if you need help just ask === barna is now known as bipul [05:54] harsh343: I'm not sure what could be wrong, then. The only thing I can think of to try is to create a brand new user, and see if it looks right then [05:54] brjannc, now also there is not option of shut down and restart and all those things [05:54] ok_wait: Sure thing :) [05:54] sion, yes, but wouldn't that break other software? [05:54] zykotick9: well there was nothing wrong with it before the 11.10 upgrade [05:54] sion: in emacs mode, do I jump words by ctrl+leftArrow/rightArrow? [05:55] eltigre, possibly, probably only if the software needs to be compiled with a certain version (in which case take option 2, installing from source to another place). it might also be possible using software centre but I don't know because I don't use it [05:55] how do I reset apt-get? so that apt-get install doesn't crash? [05:55] brjannc, it looks like little ubuntu 10.04 [05:55] harsh343: It sounds like your user profile may be corrupted or something; I would try to create a new user and see if that works, and if so, maybe come back and ask how to fix a corrupted user profile in 11.10? (I'm not using 11.10, so I really don't know) [05:55] ok [05:55] JPeterson: i see no apt crash there, just a broken window [05:56] or a chashed window¿ :P [05:56] sion, in synaptic I can see that I have 4.4 and 4.5 installed, how can I downgrade one? [05:56] harsh343: But it *is* the installation you had before, right? All your files from yesterday or whenever are there and everything? [05:56] xangua: how do i get the fullscreen console? [05:56] JPeterson: control+alt+f1 i believe [05:56] eltigre, I don't use EMACS but according to the internet forward is M-f and backward is M-b [05:56] eltigre, sorry, wrong person [05:57] crassus, I don't use EMACS but according to the internet forward is M-f and backward is M-b === kyubutsu is now known as gnomie [05:57] and you exit with control+alt+f7 JPeterson [05:57] ImTheDude: Can you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy evolution"? === DJPerrone is now known as HighlanderBlue [05:57] brjannc, yes now i am able to see all my files and folders as yesterday [05:57] how and where [05:57] brjannc, before login i am able to see all the options in the login panel [05:58] brjannc, with wich app I can do it in console? [05:58] for the image? [05:58] xangua: thx. it looks the same in the fullscreen terminal http://i.imgur.com/EAkoP.png [05:58] eltigre, as far as I know you would have to uninstall and reinstall with forced version [05:58] ok [05:58] xangua: notice how it crahes to the terminal after the 50% message [05:58] one small question at the same time i am not able to copy the data in the pendrive how can i ? [05:59] harsh343: Okay, good. Then my only guess is that your user profile is corrupted somehow [05:59] jordanu how and where? [05:59] brjannc, yup [05:59] jordan_U [05:59] ImTheDude: Run that command in a terminal. [05:59] Anyone experienced issues with the latest versions of flash in 11.10 not working? [06:00] How can I stop all graphical gnome while I'm in SSH ? [06:01] I want to stop all services of the "desktop" gui remotely... I need to reduce at minimum ressources of the machine... I'm remote in ssh. [06:01] eltigre, also if you are using apt-get from commandline you can downgrade by specifying the package version like apt-get install gcc=4:4.6.1-2ubuntu5 (replacing the last part with the desired version number) [06:01] brjannc, three options occurs in the login screen myusername, Guest user and other is it possible to enter the login from 2 other options [06:01] booh-: There are many different ways to do it; tar and rsync are probably the most basic, and there's lots of guides available online [06:02] that didnt work [06:02] brjannc, and check whether it is works or not with others ? [06:02] Jordan_U that didnt work [06:02] booh-: you can try sudo service gdm stop [06:02] brjannc, hello [06:03] ImTheDude: "Didn't work" is almost never a useful description of a problem. [06:03] i am able to see all the options from the Guest account [06:03] ok and if I stop gdm, all things related to graphical interface will shutdown? [06:03] no but it is a result of the action. [06:03] harsh343: Like I said, I really don't know how to help restore your profile :( [06:04] booh-: yeah, pretty much [06:04] hey hows it going everyone [06:04] brjannc, thanks man but now i am able to enter through guest user and able to see the same as my previous windows [06:04] got any other ideas Jordan_U? [06:04] harsh343: glad to hear it! [06:05] and all my important datas i need only the password for this because now i am the guest user [06:05] brjannc, is it possible to create a new user with admin [06:05] ImTheDude: Run "apt-cache policy evolution" and pastebin the output so that I can see it.

[06:06] oh it said evolution was not there. [06:07] ImTheDude: Please follow my directions. I need the full output. [06:07] There is nothing like "clonezilla" for online imaging?

[06:09] oups ok I found "partimage" in console... good ;-) [06:09] harsh343: Yes, in the administration menu there should be a "Users and Groups" program you can use to create a new user. [06:09] harsh343: You're very welcome! [06:09] crassus, if you're still here backward and forward by word with EMACS bindings is in fact M-b and M-f respectively (just tested it) but it can have annoying conflicts, e.g. my Meta key is bound to Alt, and Alt-F on my terminal opens up the File menu, this wouldn't be a problem with vi bindings [06:09] ImTheDude: I told you to use pastebin multiple times. Please read more carefully and try to follow directions exactly. If there is something about my directions you don't understand then ask. [06:09] but then you would need to know the vi bindings... [06:09] it wasn't that hard folks, a rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock dpkg --configure -a apt-get install -f should have been suggested to my question! [06:09] ImTheDude: Do you understand what it means to use pastebin? [06:09] brjannc, but with the guest account i am not able to see the administration panel [06:10] no [06:10] !fixapt [06:10] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [06:10] is that on ubuntu web site [06:10] !info pastebinit | ImTheDude [06:10] ImTheDude: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client.

[06:13] Jordan_U i pastbenit from you url you posted i dont know where it goes from there? [06:13] crassus: ping [06:14] ok thanks [06:14] Jordan_U whats launchpad? [06:14] alright, one more time pls [06:14] crassus: foo [06:15] brjannc, now i create an user name hary with the following command and able to see all of the options what i have, but not able to see the harsh username only which is my old username [06:15] booh-: Sorry, I've been missing your messages -- it's easier for me to see if you mention my name :) [06:15] Hey I have a question.. [06:15] awesome. thanks guys, irssi works how I want it to now [06:15] Hey I have a question.. [06:15] elacheche_anis: Go ahead and ask [06:15] you know, i'm thinking of defaulting to just using tty now [06:15] only thing I need now is a music player [06:15] brjannc, but i am not able to use sudo nautilus with the new username hary [06:15] for the tty. there's probably one out there though [06:16] crassus: apt-get install play? [06:16] crassus: play *.mp3 [06:16] crassus: check out cplay [06:16] crass, check out moc [06:16] i'll give them all a go :) [06:16] output:) hary is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [06:16] !lp | ImTheDude [06:16] ImTheDude: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [06:16] harsh343: I'd recommend against sudo nautilus in the first place ;) [06:16] brjannc, Is the mail server of the MLs down??? I try to send a mail to the Tunisian loco(that I'm a member) since 00h & every time a receive a mail with an error from google.. [06:17] .^ [06:17] how do i reinstall all system packages? [06:17] harsh343, users need to be in the "admin" group to sudo. [06:17] JPeterson: why you need that? [06:17] zykotick9: or written explicitly into the sudoers file, no? [06:17] zykotick9, means i am not able to use this command with any other username [06:17] Resistance, don't do that [06:18] iceroot: well look at my system http://iu500.imgur.com/all/ [06:18] png support is broken or something more [06:18] harsh343: At the command line, change to your old user with su harsh [06:18] zykotick9: ;P [06:18] JPeterson: iu500's images are not publicly available. [06:18] ImTheDude: Is English your first language? [06:18] harsh343, add your new user to the "admin" group (not sure how if you don't currently have a sudo users though) [06:18] iceroot: oh, http://i.imgur.com/Jkxp8.png [06:18] crassus, for CLI music player I would use mplayer or mpd+mpc :) [06:19] JPeterson: what you did before? [06:19] zykotick9: He does have one, but that user's profile is currently jacked up [06:19] brjannc, excellent bro thanks very much again [06:19] iceroot: windows borders are gone, png files broken [06:19] this ant english this is linux [06:19] iceroot: upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 [06:19] JPeterson: also what is the output of "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii" [06:19] thx brjannc, Is the mail server of the MLs down??? I try to send a mail to the Tunisian loco(that I'm a member) since 00h & every time a receive a mail with an error from google.. [06:20] iceroot: this http://pastebin.com/rRNDpEZ1 [06:20] harsh343: No problem. As your old user, you can use sudo visudo to edit the sudoers file, and follow the comments in that file to give your new user sudo permissions. [06:20] JPeterson: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should fix the issue [06:21] iceroot: thx trying... [06:21] harsh: sudo usermod -aG admin hary [06:21] elacheche_anis: I don't know the answer to that question, sorry :) You're welcome to keep asking in here, but please allow 5-10 minutes before repeating again [06:21] harsh343, : sudo usermod -aG admin hary [06:21] JPeterson: if not, then the config is broken, not the packages [06:21] iceroot: you mean apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop ? [06:21] since it's already installed [06:22] iceroot: how do i reset all system configs? [06:22] or the gnome config to begin with [06:22] to the 11.10 default [06:22] ok, brjannc thx :D [06:22] if some 11.04 configs carried over and broke it [06:22] harsh343: sion's recommendation to use usermod is better than mine, do that instead of visudo ;) [06:22] elacheche_anis: Sure thing! [06:23] JPeterson: something like "unity --reset" [06:23] ok i see Jordan_U its so i dont flood the chan. [06:23] JPeterson: but because i dont have unity installed, i cant check [06:24] brjannc, but sudo usermod -aG admin hary give the output hary is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported [06:24] iceroot: i'm switched to gnome classic now, can i --reset that too? [06:24] brjannc, are you sure it's admin group though? in other distros it's the group: wheel [06:25] sion, it's "admin" for ubuntu [06:25] JPeterson: maybe with renaming the config in ~/.gnome (dont know the exact name of that folder because i am not using it) [06:25] harsh343, your problem is that the user you're using does not have root access [06:25] sion: True, but right now I'm in adm and admin [06:25] iceroot: ok, maybe [06:25] sion, then what i can do ? [06:25] JPeterson: have a look with ~/.gnome TAB TAB [06:25] any solution yet for corrupt mouse cursor bug at boot? [06:25] harsh343: Yes, you'll have to su harsh first, since that user can use sudo [06:25] iceroot: i've just noticed before that the ubuntu version upgrade sometimes asks if i want to reset a changed config [06:25] lotuspsychje: is there a bug opened? [06:25] so i thought that function might be exposed from the command line [06:26] JPeterson: that is a dpkg-thing [06:26] iceroot: im not sure, but i tought it has been opened [06:26] harsh343, do you know the password to your previous username? [06:26] brjannc, after using su harsh i am able to do anything then why need any other command [06:26] iceroot: ok so? [06:26] JPeterson: if you choose no, dpkg will create a config called foobar.conf.dpkg for that package [06:26] sion, yes i am only the user of my lapt [06:26] lapi* [06:26] JPeterson: just try the rename of the global gnome config [06:27] harsh343: Because you may as well add your new user to the admin group, so you don't have to constantly su to harsh before you can use sudo [06:27] harsh343: It's not necessary, just might be less hassle for you [06:27] brjannc, then what i can do now [06:27] ? [06:27] iceroot: can you be more specific, for example which file [06:28] harsh343, I obviously don't understand your problem, what are you trying to achieve? [06:28] harsh343: su harsh then sudo usermod -aG admin hary [06:28] JPeterson: ~/.gnome3 ~/.gnome or something like that should be the file [06:28] sion: he deleted his /etc folder, and now he's trying to fix the system. [06:28] JPeterson: but because i am not using gnome i dont have that folder to check [06:28] harsh343: Then you will be able to sudo as hary. [06:28] hi !! , i need a help, is about to emesene, don't connect to the service [06:28] iceroot: ~/.gnome2 is the only gnome in ~ [06:29] but there's nothing in it basically [06:29] JPeterson: but your screenshots looks like you are using unity and not gnome [06:29] iceroot: ya, i switched at login now [06:29] JPeterson: unity --reset [06:29] iceroot: i think i found it http://askubuntu.com/questions/21295/mouse-pointer-strange-problem [06:29] gnome classic is broken in the same way to, but at least i can reach more program shortcuts [06:29] lorddelta, ok and do you know if any progress has been made? [06:29] fromthe Applications menu [06:30] lotuspsychje: you tried Option "sw_cursor"? [06:30] brjannc, befor using this also i am able to go in sudo nautilus with su harsh [06:30] sion: sounds like it. I'm just hanging (waiting to see if I can upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 here), though so, I'm not sure how far he's gotten. [06:31] sion: If I knew dbus well enough to to a grep search on the logs in pidgin I could provide with a summary on pastebin... [06:31] and also after using your command su harsh then sudo usermod -aG admin hary, when i again open a new terminal i am not able to open sudo nautilus again i neede su harsh again [06:31] iceroot: what about dpkg-reconfigure --all? what does that do? [06:31] harsh343: I understand that -- what I'm saying is that you would be able to sudo *without* needing to su harsh first. But if you're happy doing that, it's fine [06:31] JPeterson: to much [06:31] harsh343: You'll need to log out and log back in for the change to take effect for the hary user. [06:32] brjannc, ok [06:32] lorddelta; hah, well thanks! [06:32] harsh343: (Also, *please* don't sudo nautilus! That's how you ended up deleting your /etc directory by mistake!) [06:32] brjannc, hmmmmmmmmmm [06:32] iceroot: ok [06:32] JPeterson: ls -all ~/. [06:32] harsh343, why do you want to 'sudo nautilus'? what will you do once you get nautilus? [06:32] harsh343: sudo should be used *very* infrequently, only when you need it. [06:33] JPeterson: can you paste that output? (check first if there are filenames you dont want to post) [06:33] ok [06:33] sion: actually I've sudo nautilus'ed a couple of times to change a config file or something. Its not always obvious how to do that to a newbie. [06:33] hi [06:34] partimage tell me that it can't work with mounted partition but... I continue and it seems to do the job anyway ;-) [06:34] lorddelta: sudo gedit /path/to/configfile [06:34] lorddelta, i at least hope you used gksu or gksudo [06:34] brjannc, yes now after restart i am able to see the window again [06:34] !gksu [06:34] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [06:34] iceroot: ok here http://pastebin.com/zNktULP7 [06:34] lorddelta: of course gksudo gedit /path/to/configfile [06:34] iceroot: yeah, I know that. [06:34] and use sudo directly with username hary [06:34] lorddelta, well I was just thinking, if he wants to fix things maybe we can help him do it without nautilus instead of going on a mission to get a GUI? [06:34] harsh343: Great! [06:35] brjannc, but i am not able to see all my drives [06:35] iceroot: actually usually these days its sudo gedit or sudo bash -c 'echo "changetobemade" >> fileinquestion' [06:35] yes not i am able [06:35] lorddelta: its always gksudo [06:35] when i again open sudo nautilus [06:35] brjannc, thanks very very much dear [06:35] you are very clever man [06:35] lorddelta: and of course the real solution is "sudo vim /foo/bar" [06:36] harsh343: You may need to add a few more groups to your new user. You can see what groups harsh was in with groups harsh and then add hary to those groups with sudo usermod -aG hary [06:36] zykotick9: and I think I eventually did that. I mainly did that back in 10.10...before I learned about gksudo [06:36] JPeterson: mv ~/.gconf ~/.gconf.orig && mv ~/.config ~/.config.orig [06:36] harsh343: Heh, you're welcome. Good luck! [06:36] iceroot: Yes I know, but I'm not proficient yet with vim. I'm an emacs guy anyways. [06:37] JPeterson: after that, logout and login again [06:37] brjannc, one last question i am not able to copy anything in my pendrive what i can do now ? [06:37] iceroot: i made a new user, looks the same, so these settings wont matter [06:37] JPeterson: hm [06:37] apt-catch poilcy evolution is that it? [06:38] harsh343, check which user owns the pendrive with: ls -l /media/pendrive (replacing /media/pendrive with path to your pendrive) [06:38] i forgot [06:38] ImTheDude: apt-cache policy evolution [06:38] im still trying to figure out pastbin [06:38] JPeterson: then i guess --reconfigure on dpkg is the only way [06:38] JPeterson: thought its just a user-based config issue [06:39] harsh343, if the owner of the file is not the current user then you will probably not be able to write to it without either a) changing permissions b) changing ownership c) changing users d) remounting drive [06:39] ImTheDude: post your text on pastebin, click "submit" and post the url so we can see your pasted text [06:39] im try to it keeps sending me to launchpad [06:40] ImTheDude: or use this "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" and then you can use "command-you-want-to-paste | pastebinit" [06:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/738003/plain/ there is that it [06:41] ImTheDude, try http://pastebin.com/ instead, you should be able to paste anonymously, just paste your code in the box and copy the URI from the address bar [06:41] ImTheDude, nevermind, looks like you got it! :-) [06:42] ya but does it work [06:42] ImTheDude: what is your issue with evolution? [06:43] iceroot: what --reconfigure? [06:43] i cant get the tabe evolution out of application [06:43] tabe=tab [06:43] you mean dpkg-reconfigure? [06:43] hi anyone up ? [06:43] ImTheDude: so you mean "evolution is still in my menu but its not installed" [06:44] even though i uninstalled it [06:44] right [06:44] how do i dpkg-reconfigure -a silent? i don't want a million dialogs [06:44] ImTheDude: should be removed after you logout and login again [06:44] whats a program that can tell me what the internal stuff is doing on my lappy ? [06:44] iamfennec: top, iotop... [06:44] i did that . [06:44] like temperature and whatnot? [06:45] iamfennec: good question! :) [06:45] JPeterson, there should be a "force yes" [06:45] iamfennec: lm-sensors [06:45] i've heard alot of opinions on this.. but i want your opinion #ubuntu.. what is the best (at least semi-recent) in-depth Linux book? (preferably one for ubuntu, but not limiting my choices by this) === jesus is now known as Guest68269 [06:45] JPeterson, try option --force [06:45] sion ok [06:45] brjannc, output is http://pastebin.com/EizEiSVX now what next here NO NAME is my pendrive [06:46] ya no its still there [06:46] iamfennec: powertop is another good one, especially for laptops; helps you tweak certain settings to increase battery life. See also http://www.ubuntugeek.com/saving-power-on-intel-hardware-using-powertop.html [06:46] hey anyone know were to setup the fire on ububtu compiz [06:46] Guest68269: you might have to install the extras [06:46] |www.test.com [06:46] that didnt work [06:47] harsh343, unfortunately my proxy is blocking your pastebin at the moment :( [06:47] Guest68269: After you install the extras (usually apt-get install compiz-extras), you need to lookup what the config key is. [06:47] i thought there was an easy way to do links in irc [06:47] sion, hows ? [06:47] thank you [06:47] harsh343: I'm not very good at usb device problems, but it looks like sion is offering help :) [06:47] is anyone else having flash issues in 11.10? [06:47] brjannc, ok [06:47] Guest68269, do you have Compiz Config Settings Manager installed? It will be under the extra animations. [06:48] it keeps telling me i have an error when i goto youtube [06:48] !details | ph4nt0m_x [06:48] ph4nt0m_x: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:48] JPeterson: You almost never want to use "force" type options. Try --pcritical. That tells dpkg to only show questions with a priority ('p') of 'critical'. [06:48] wait is there a command to put a link in irc? [06:48] sion: the mountpoint he's talking about has perms 775 and is owned by user 99, group 99 [06:48] Jordan_U: ok [06:48] ImTheDude: What irc client? [06:48] Guest68269, if not, the package you want is compizconfig-settings-manager [06:48] ^v for me. [06:48] ImTheDude: http://foo.bar just write it [06:48] smuxi [06:49] JPeterson: Make that '-pcritical' rather than '--pcritical'. [06:49] ImTheDude: or copy it [06:49] ^+shift+v for terminal [06:49] Guest68269, if you're using Onieric you should be able to find it by searching "compiz" in the unity bar thing [06:49] ok i try to load a youtube vid but the output i get is either that it cant load the video or a real slow buffering [06:49] oh copy past duh [06:49] Jordan_U: ok i'm doing dpkg-reconfigure --all -pcritical [06:49] all i have in the extras tab is annotate screenshot windows preview [06:49] ImTheDude, what are you trying to do with the links? [06:50] JPeterson: What are you hoping to accomplish with that? [06:50] nothing [06:50] dumb question sorry [06:50] Now...whether there is an api for spamming irc with links is a better question (not in the spirit of spamming, in the spirit of piping pastebinit urls to irc) [06:50] Guest68269: you might have to install the extra's via synaptic package manager (or varient). just look up "compiz extra" or whatever [06:51] ph4nt0m_x: as i said before, we need usefull infos. what ubuntu version, what browser, what error-message, output of "dpkg -l \*flashplugin\"* [06:51] ph4nt0m_x: as i said before, we need usefull infos. what ubuntu version, what browser, what error-message, output of "dpkg -l \*flashplugin\* [06:51] ok [06:51] sorry for the insolince [06:51] hi [06:51] brjannc, thanks, it sucks that the apge is blocked... let me see [06:52] insolence [06:52] sion: Yeah, of all the strange sites to block with a proxy o_O [06:52] *has pipe dreams about a cloud based irc with piped everything, all from a tty* [06:52] ph4nt0m_x, you probably have gnash player installed (it is free software, free as in freedom) you can replace it with the proprietary Adobe Flash Player if you like, there is a chance it might work better [06:53] ph4nt0m_x, also no, I am having no flash problems in 11.10 and I'm using Gnash (GNU Flash Player) [06:53] ok ty [06:53] i think i need to eat now [06:53] sudo apt-get install compiz-extras does not work for me i get Reading package lists...

[07:13] no [07:13] g2g === OllieN is now known as OllieN` [07:14] Natecat: and you are sure the wubi install completed successfully ? [07:14] it didnt crash or anything and it didnt indicate errors so im pretty sure it installed successfully [07:15] Whenever I do drag-and-drop ubuntu hangs [07:15] im sure its since i installed unity [07:16] Natecat: I would look within windows for the setup for 'booting options' , there should be two now, ubuntu and windows [07:16] where are error logs stored in windows 7 [07:16] Natecat: ##windows [07:17] Natecat, You'll burn in hell for using windows [07:17] windows was just for gaming [07:17] on the topic of Wubi installation, I have only ever seen bad things happen with it, is there any advantage? [07:17] sion:easy to use [07:17] i dont wanna buy a blank disk [07:18] Natecat: I started on ubuntu using 'wubi' its odd that the window for you to chose which os to start did not show [07:18] hi what would be best sli video card to use on ubuntu, running am3 system. nvidia still? [07:19] i only get that when i have 2 partitions [07:19] nvidas always best [07:19] if u have money then go for 580s [07:19] gtx [07:20] Natecat: no, you would have windows offering up two os's to chose from with wubi properly installed and assuming windows does not somehow lockout that option [07:20] hmm it doesnt show as a OS [07:20] I just installed tomcat7 (using apt-get install tomcat7) and it's failing to start with the message * no JDK found - please set JAVA_HOME [07:21] tks Natecat [07:21] Natecat: in your root folder there is a folder called 'ubuntu'?? [07:21] in c: there is a folder called ubuntu [07:23] Natecat: within ubuntu folder there is at least two files one somewhere between 8-30gig, the other the swap with about 1-4 gig ? [07:23] all folders that are named grub are empty is this normal? [07:23] Natecat: no, not normal, the install did not work [07:24] i was thinking those were installed on first startup [07:24] ill reinstall [07:24] why do i suddenly have no sound with banshee? [07:25] my download speeds are slow today [07:25] lexflex, because banshee has tremendous quantities of evil mono dependencies? [07:25] Natecat: you don't need to install with a dvd, you can do it with a usb also, look it up [07:25] joking... [07:25] usbs cost more [07:26] sion: what sound player should i use? [07:26] my only usb is with my friend in florida [07:26] Natecat: you should not need to re-download, if the original download completed [07:26] i deleted ubuntu folder [07:26] clean install [07:27] lexflex, well I was actually just joking, it depends how much you care about software freedom, you could use something like rhythmbox or audacious instead, but they might not be as featureful as yours? [07:27] Natecat: the bittorrent download is usually faster [07:27] sion: i like banshee becasue it integrates. when i click on the speaker (top left) i can control the music [07:28] bittorrent? Fast? lol [07:28] sion: then again, all this is useless without sound ;) [07:28] lexflex, you should be able to do that with other media players as well, and the sound issue is *probably* caused by something else [07:28] anyways 6 minutes isn't that long [07:28] sion: it used to work.. [07:29] sion: i will try reboot [07:32] sion: reboot didn't work === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-afk === MoL0ToV is now known as Mol0Tov [07:33] lexflex, do your other sounds work? like maybe Totem movie player or the error beeps?

I'm wondering how to add another screen (without delving into screen) [07:51] lorddelta: theres irssi tutorials out there that detail how to do it. I use weechat these days myself..

[07:55] ok [07:55] zrtyye: what is your real question about terminator? [07:55] <|Long|> i need to know where the file location and name for ip address [07:55] i can't open terminator [07:56] zrtyye: what error-message comes when you type "terminator" in the shell? [07:56] open up gnome-terminal and run terminator. :) [07:56] it open then close automatically i don't know why ? [07:56] if gnome-terminal also fails.. well try xterm [07:56] |Long|, ok, if its a server install, go to /etc/network/interfaces and change the ip address that appears in front of eth0 [07:56] dr_willis: btw thnx that was it [07:56] dr_willis: the whole /window thing [07:56] lorddelta: check out weechat some day. I perfer it 100x over irssi. [07:57] zrtyye: what error-message comes when you type "terminator" in the shell?

[07:58] there is no error iceroot [07:58] zrtyye: then use "termintor -d" [07:58] from terminal if i type terminator, it just open then auto close [07:58] let me check [07:58] <|Long|> phlak_user, thanks let me try now [07:58] zrtyye: please start always with the nickname you are writing with [07:59] zrtyye: you can use TAB to complete the nick [07:59] |Long|, yw and remember if that interface does not come back up; you need to get physical access to that machine [07:59] dr_willis: Ah, yeah, seen a couple of those.

When my notebook starts up with 11.10, lp, parport and irda modules are loaded automatically. It seems that the chipset supports these, but they are not available on my hardware.

[08:48] Unfortunately, this did not work, something is still loading these modules. Any idea how I can find out who is loading these modules and prevent them from being loaded?

[10:25] ct529: run sudo update-grub, that should detect the windows 7 partition and update the grub configuration files for you [10:26] when you have 3 person accessing on a machine where you have root access how to forbid access to other root user ? [10:26] brjannc: thanks. I get an error basename: missing operand [10:26] Somebody around here that uses lucid / maverick and Empathy? [10:27] dupondje: you may want to ask the actual question/state teh problem. [10:27] aertyui: by default new users have no root permission, else remove them from from the sudoers file, or use the gui tool in the menu [10:27] you don't get my question [10:27] dr_willis: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/papyon/+bug/887349/comments/81 needs some testers :) [10:27] Launchpad bug 887349 in papyon (Ubuntu Lucid) "Can't login in Windows live acount using empathy" [High,Triaged] [10:28] how do I write the sparse file size in ubuntu? [10:28] ie blocks * block size [10:28] you have 3 users logged as root in a machine how to forbid access to them ? [10:28] ct529: hm, haven't run into that problem before [10:28] aertyui: i see sorry [10:28] ie get the sparse file size of a file [10:29] aertyui: i guess you could encrypt them, or make a seperate group of which the root is not an owner ? [10:29] user1 ssh root@ma.com user2 ssh root@ma.com user3 ssh root@ma.com, [10:29] Is there a way to tell if the website you browsed to is ipv6 or ipv4? [10:30] aertyui: Change your sshd_config so root can't remotely log in? [10:30] Ycarene: nmap ? [10:30] all 3 user accessing on the machine on a same time [10:30] first how to auto disconnect them ?

[10:31] proxx - I thought that was a port scanning utility? [10:32] get the pid via somthing like ---> ps aux | grep root | grep bash [10:33] Ycarene does a fine job at these kind a things 2 nmap -sn www.domain.com should give you a useful output [10:33] ahh, ok [10:33] -sn is for ping scan [10:33] Hmm, doesn't seem to work [10:34] hello I am new to programming and i want to help and program to gnome i have read that vala is easy and i want to learn it to fix bugs and develop for vala my study is away from programming and i only did some small projects in python so i want to have a book that annonate code and give more examples in vala the valadoc is so short and for experts only i don't understand anything but i can do good in python as the docs are sp helpfull any help with name of a [10:34] book to start getting the grasp of vala ? [10:34] sorry i get deej1976 [10:34] proxx - for example, if I do www.fark.com, it gives me ipv4 information but I know for a fact that firefox uses ipv6 to connect to that site. (because when my ipv6 went down I couldn't access it) [10:35] ok now once after killing their session how to forbid their autoconnection ? deej1976 [10:35] hello everyone, i upgrade my ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 ,than it comes the problem , i was stuck in the screen after a enter the passwd [10:35] Freenode just uncovered a new Ubuntu security threat!

[10:39] thats sort of a main reason for using sudo, better controll of who can do what. [10:39] hi everybody [10:40] i upgrade my ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04,than the problem comes, at first it comes the error " ubuntu is running in low-graphic mods" , than i reinstall the gdm , than this error disappear ,but i was stuck in the screen where after enter my passwd [10:40] I've installed a new audio device (Jabra speak 410 usb) and the OS detects it but I have no output. [10:40] dmesg shows the device detection (no error) [10:40] zjhui: low graphics mode - suggests you need to install the drivers for your video card [10:41] if i do so from one of the machine where i have ssh access allready will i lose the connexion? deej1976 [10:41] In fact, it works fine as a microphone, but there is no output [10:41] dr_willis: but i have install the drivers in the ubuntu 10.10 [10:41] or i need to be in front of the computer ? [10:41] zjhui: i would make sure they are installed in the current release also. [10:42] zjhui: since they dont seem to be working according to your error message [10:42] I've checked the manufacturer website and product specifications and it announces that this device works as an audio device for Mac and Linux. [10:42] aertyui: Can you remotely login with your userid? [10:42] Could anybody give a piece of advice in the diagnose of this issue? [10:43] dr_willis: well , may be you are right , thank you for your answer [10:43] zjhui: can you give us a "lspci | grep VGA" [10:44] carol: you tried the variou pulse audio control tools? could be it needs tobe selected some how. [10:44] proxx: ok [10:44] carol: It might be that output is muted or is using wrong output? [10:44] i am using a DVI to HDMI cable, and i loose the edges on my screen, is this a common problem? [10:44] carol: i usually use 'pavucontrol' to check those, but new kde/gnome tools might be good enough [10:44] proxx: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] (rev a2) [10:45] zjhui: oke just install the nvidia drivers and you should be good to go. plenty of stuff on the net that can help you :) [10:46] I've checked, inside the sound preferences, that the hardware is properly selected/detected. [10:46] Additionally, I've tested with the 5 different profiles for the "settings for the selected device". [10:47] i can only access remotely as root deej1976 [10:47] I've verified that output it not muted. [10:48] and in the output it only appears the Jabra device as the only device for sound output [10:48] proxx: ok , thank you [10:48] guys I'm board what can I do for fun [10:48] have fun [10:48] bored [10:48] so have fun [10:48] lol [10:48] floydsprite: reinstall your machine... bye bye [10:48] proxx: but how did you know i should reinstall the drive from this" 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] (rev a2)" [10:49] aertyui: You need to create 3 local users on the machine, and allow sudo for them [10:49] lol mk will do [10:49] zjhui: the drive ? what do you mean ? [10:49] proxx: drivers [10:49] proxx: drivers [10:50] haha, well your in low graphics mode, and you updgraded, and do the math :P [10:51] unfortunately I have a droid so I can talk y I reinstall [10:51] zjhui: besides, wanted to make sure you didnt have any new fancy laptop with shitty switchable graphics or any other nasty card that hates linux [10:53] proxx: =.= ok..i clear now [10:54] whats a easy way to make money [10:54] work? [10:55] about to install on a dual boot windows 7 system, creating partitions from the unallocated free space, i dont know if i should make it logical or primary, if it should be at the beginning or at the end and where it should mount, any help much appreciated [10:55] floydsprite, win the lottery [10:55] floydsprite: iam no admin , but plz stop spamming [10:55] lol [10:55] sorry proxx [10:55] !offtopic | floydsprite [10:55] floydsprite: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:56] bodhi: how many partitions do you have or want to have ? [10:56] fstab with windows 2008 domain share Anyone have the mount line (passworded share) [10:57] proxx, i dont know, i want to be able to boot dually with windows 7, there-s the two ntsf partitions and the free space, i dont know how many partitions i need to make before i can install linux [10:59] bodhi_ oke, well one can have only a few partitions on an logical partion (4 if iam not mistaking)... uhm so i suggest you make an extended partition for linux.. on top of that make the root and the swap etc [11:00] Do you know MIME? [11:00] so how do i go about doing that? heres the options i am given, logical or primary, location for new partition beginning or end, use as ext4, swap, etc, mount point, / etc [11:00] i have about 60 gb of space [11:01] It is a fundamental component of phpmyadmin since 2003 [11:02] so it is weird, I got the 11.10 and my audio doesnt work on youtube, i downloaded a ogg file I also cant play in banshee, but, if I go in gnome-control-center and do a speaker test, it says "test left" and "test right", how about that ? [11:02] proxx, [11:02] Are there tablet computers with Ubuntu preinstalled yet? [11:02] I mean I hear it [11:03] bodhi_ just a sec, iam thinking :P [11:04] bodhi_: If you already have win7 installed and want to install Ubuntu after, the Ubuntu installer will present a choice of : Install Ubuntu alongside Windows ... [11:04] proxx, i want grub to let me choose from win7 or linux, as i said i have 60 gb of free space [11:04] bodhi_: Two partitions minimum, / and swap ( Best is 3 /,/home,swap ) [11:04] Why do we need /bin, /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin? Three different places to store a binaries that can be executed by non-root users? [11:04] xjkx, youtube is flash. there is a special package for Flash audio. check you have it installed. I don't have a tip for banshee. In worst case you can bail to Rhythmbox or Amarok or 1 of the new Amarok forks. [11:04] CrazyThinker: historcal reasons, to be changed in future i guess [11:05] bodhi_: otherwise you already have 2 primary partitions, and can add two more only (one should be /boot and another one extended with 2 logical ones for / and swap) [11:05] CrazyThinker, try "man hier" in terminal [11:05] deej1976, so, that-s two logical or primary? one swap that mounts where, one ext4 that mounts where? [11:05] rumpe1, Thank you [11:05] xjkx, you can also ditch pulse-audio. Is there any reason to have it now that ALSA DMix is enabled by default? [11:05] edakiri: i'd say its an audio conflict, in Hardware on gnome-control-center I have Internal Audio, and High Definition Audio controler, ddont they conflict ?? [11:06] Not sure, I just installed it, then it has alsa [11:06] !filesystem [11:06] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [11:06] pulse-audio is pretty hard to remove without breaking other stuff. [11:07] bodhi_| One primary for / (root) and swap partition# [11:07] bodhi_ oke but you can make an ext and a swap ? the swap should be mount point SWAP and the EXT4 should be as " / " [11:07] let me see if i am communicating well here, I am facing a box, that has a ticker, where i can select from logical or primary, location at either beginning or end, ext4, ext3, ext2 etc, and then mount point, / /home etc [11:07] xjkx, pulse goes through alsa. pulse-audio uses much RAM (which I have little of at the moment) Intel HD Audio is usualy Internal. Ycarene I removed it without suffering, but am running Debian sid/unstable. [11:09] bodhi_: primary, ext4, mount point / [11:09] what should i choose for what, if i choose to make a swap should i choose it primary or logical, considering i have win7 already installed, considering i have 60 gb of free space and 500 mb ram what size should i make swap and where should it mount [11:09] unity and gnome3 is asking me for root password instead of sudo password. I accidentaly screwed up my groups but am now a member of admin again and can sudo, but gnome and unity doesnt know. [11:09] deej1976 yes that seems to be good [11:09] bodhi_: swap, desired amount (end) [11:09] ahh [11:10] be right back [11:10] deej1976, the ext4 should be located at the beginnning or at the end? [11:10] beginning [11:11] bodhi_ it is appended this way, else you will leave gaps, its just stack :) [11:12] ok now, the swap, i have 1,5 gb free space left, 500mb ram, should the swap be primary or logical, located at beginning or end, and where should it mount [11:12] bodhi_primairy beginning , mount as swap [11:12] fstab with windows 2008 domain share Anyone have the mount line (passworded share) [11:12] /ccbackup/deployment-bk /media/Backups cifs username=####,password=####,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [11:12] can someone help me please. [11:12] ...hi, I have a fairly major gripe with the privacy of ubuntu...why does the operating system know my name? [11:13] My real name. [11:13] And how can i remove that. [11:13] you typed it in there [11:13] Where? [11:13] Where can I untype it? [11:13] lorddelta: sudo gedit /etc/passwd [11:14] bodhi_ did it work ? [11:14] deej1976: thnx [11:15] installing, seemingly [11:15] bodhi_ nice :) [11:15] Ubuntu was doing work with ARM. Is there an index of ARM devices running GNU in general or Ubuntu specifically? === root____ is now known as gggmaster [11:15] bodhi_ youll get a feel for it after couple of times :) [11:16] i have a pretty old motherboard [11:16] lorddelta, gnome-control panel / users maybe. [11:16] it uses ddrm1 memory [11:16] edakiri: Can't, running 11.10. [11:16] :P [11:16] i want to get 2gb of memory for it [11:16] Hey folks in the past printing worked now I am having problems, anyone willing to give me general troubleshooting guidance ? [11:16] bodhi_ are you runnung bodhi linux ?? [11:16] bodhi_: Once you've enjoyed the pleasure of Ubuntu, and want to have single boot, have a 20Gb primary /, 2Gb swap, rest /home :D and further comments to ubuntu-offtopic :D [11:17] proxx, yes [11:17] should run fine [11:17] how do i stop gdm to start on inicialization without reinstalling it ? [11:17] bodhi_ runs perfectly on my brothers netbook, but indeed enough offtopic [11:17] proxx, laptop died, old desktop reviving [11:17] Is it possible to dump Unity (Gnome 3 is not an option) for XFCE. I need a DE/windows manager that is usable. [11:17] tried to move init.d script but didnt work [11:18] bodhi_ good day 2 u [11:18] bodhi_, Too much swap can effectively crash your system if it gets used. If you don't use TmpFS, I recommend <= 1GB swap. ext4 is well supported and stable. you don't need other filesystem for files. Reiser4 is good for /tmp or /var/cache [11:18] Where do I start to get some debug output with a failed print job ? [11:18] onryo: Pretty easy, just sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [11:18] onryo: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [11:19] How can I list all prations with they are label ? 'fdisk -l' is not the thing. [11:19] laxpax, blkid is similar, but not same. [11:20] laxpax: df -lh [11:21] deej1976, that wont mess up my system will it? Its just the DE that will change I am hoping? [11:22] edakiri, it doesn't list them though. [11:22] onryo: Shouldn't do, you can then logout and login selecting Xfce session [11:22] deej1976 cheers, it doesn't list only mounted devices though. [11:22] deej1976, I installed Gnome 3 shell and did everything in my power to get use to it. Just cant. Looks and feels like a Windows 7 smartphone. [11:23] laxpax: Are you after Windows partitions as well? [11:23] deej1976, Yup a few NTFS and FAT32 partations. [11:23] onryo: imagine a lot of people feel the same, but this is heading offtopic [11:24] deej1976, kk [11:25] How do I troubleshoot mantinence commands not activating on my printer ? [11:26] how can I install a *minimal* Ubuntu (oneiric) server? I've tried server iso and alternate, and neither asked me which packages to install, they just went ahead [11:26] onryo: try "sudo blkid" [11:27] stwange: its a boot option during grub [11:28] how do I get UUID if 'ls -l | grep sda1' does not work [11:28] nslutje: try "sudo blkid" [11:28] How do I troubleshoot printer errors ? [11:28] deej1976, just found this. Looks like a "Pure xfce" way of FIXING Ubuntu. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [11:28] jasonmchristos, sorry I think you misunderstood. I'm not looking for single user mode, I don't want the additional packages to be installed in the first place [11:29] stwange: right there is a minimal mode boot option [11:29] stwange: explore the advanced F-key options while booting the live install at grub [11:30] nslutje: just open gparted, the lame way :P [11:30] brjannc: thanks a lot it worked === sanderj_ is now known as sander^work [11:31] jasonmchristos, the server ISO doesn't have a live boot. Are you sure you're not just telling me how to boot ubuntu into rescue mode (similar to sticking a 1 or single after the kernel line)? I'm trying to *install* the base system, so only the basic packages even exist on the hard drive [11:31] deej1976: That worked.... as wel as 'ls -l | grep sda1' But I figured out that SWAP has no UUID +' [11:31] proxx: command based........ [11:31] haha :P [11:32] nslutje: try "sudo blkid" [11:32] deej1976: as I said /dev/sda5 (SWAP) has no UUID I gues [11:33] mine does [11:33] nslutje: /dev/sda5: UUID="0bdf4ed6-03aa-4080-8832-79f46f6c8a2d" TYPE="swap" [11:33] nslutje: every partition jas a UUID and blkid will show the UUID [11:33] iceroot [11:33] deej1976 /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" [11:34] deej1976: no UUID... It is a debian 5 os, don't know if that matters that much [11:34] stwange: the prompt where it asks install after the launguage selection [11:34] nslutje: is this #debian? [11:34] nslutje: go to #debian [11:34] stwange: at the bottom there are F-key options [11:35] they don't anser [11:35] nslutje: and we are not #debian [11:35] and ubuntu and debian are quit simular [11:35] stwange: I think its the advanced options and you can choose minimal install and free software only installer [11:35] nslutje: so dont ask debian questions in here please, use there channel [11:35] nslutje: as you see on your example, they are not [11:35] nslutje: try the freenode channel as well as the channel on oftc, there isn't really anything else to discuss here [11:35] hi all [11:36] Does anyone have a 1350w printer ? [11:36] why empathy (ubuntu 11.10) cant connect msn? [11:36] nslutje: I think debian uses /dev/sda# naming not UUIB cat /etc/fstab [11:36] Hi guys, I installed Ubuntu and formatted Windows Vista off of my system while doing it. The problem is that I can't play WoW anymore, the game runs but I can't see anything except blocks and sometimes just darkness. I use the Additional drivers too [11:36] slipttees: its a msn issue [11:36] *tool but it doesn't detect anything.

I'm trying to manually mount my blackberry, because for some reason which I am not quite sure of, my box automounting my blackberry. Initially I thought it was the USB but when I tested it with another it worked perfectly... Please how can I manually mount this successfully. Here is the result of sudo fdisk -l .... http://paste.ubuntu.com/738105/ [11:58] but im not sure which is the blackberry [11:59] wh1zz0: none of those are your blackberry [11:59] wh1zz0: These are only your harddisks sda# [11:59] Whew [12:00] if you "sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog" and plug in your bb, what is shown [12:03] deej1976: Do I do this command while my BB is plugged? [12:04] deej1976: Or before it is plugged [12:04] wh1zz0: before [12:04] Okie [12:06] deej1976: http://paste.ubuntu.com/738138/ [12:06] is this channel available for absolute noob questions?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [12:11] I have an ~/test.sh and works just fine, but if I set a keyboard short it syas 'Error while trying to run (~/test.sh) which is linked to ...'

[12:11] thank you very much i was pretty sure of that answer but this time winblows is gone for good so i wanted to check so as to mitigate issues with transfering [12:11] /an/a script [12:12] I have installed xubuntu just now, i have been a windows user, my system is not that quick, 2.4 ghz and ram is 512 mb, my xp works quite well, i installed ubuntu other day but it was very slow, i read on internet that xubuntu is better for slower computer, but for me it is still slow, is there a way to make it quicker? [12:13] laxpax: Try specifying the complete path /home/laxpax/test.sh [12:13] Umer: whats your video card? [12:13] laxpax: how did you create a keyboard shortcut? [12:13] deej1976: Yes.. they wor perfectly.. I have an external USB drive Samsung and as soon as I plug it in, it auto mounts [12:13] work* [12:13] Umer: lubuntu, and xubuntu are better for low end machines. and your ram is most likely the big bottleneck [12:13] dr_willis, hmm i am not sure, but its an old one, [12:13] Umer: i would try out Lubuntu [12:14] dr_willis, i tried to download lubuntu, but it couldn't work [12:14] jrib: keyboard in System setting. [12:14] wh1zz0: Does the BB prompt to connect the storage, like an android phone, or modern camera? [12:14] dr_willis, i don't have a cd writer or usb to run setup from it, i download the cd image of lubuntu and ran wubi from those files but the setup screen didn't give the option of lubunt [12:15] lubuntu [12:15] deej1976: Yay! that did the trick. cheers. [12:16] is there a way i can install lubuntu alongside windows? [12:16] deej1976: It used to but it no longer prompts me, it just starts charging immediately [12:16] Hello. I have a question about Ubuntu Live USB persistence file. How is it supposed to work? [12:16] Umer: Yes. I believe that if you follow the instructions on www.ubuntu.com you'll acomplish just that [12:16] A lil script to Toggle The touchpad and set a shortcut for it. my first practical bash script. [12:17] deej1976: But when I use this same usb cable with a friend's bb, it still prompts [12:17] laxpax: grazt ;) [12:17] Because last night I tried creating a live usb with 3g persistence file, then I ran Ubuntu from it, installed a few programs, but when I rebooted, it was all gone [12:17] wh1zz0: Sounds like a phone setting has possible changed, as the USB sub-system is working [12:18] Ztak, thanks i tried but it doesn't give the option of installing lubuntu, wubi files give options of ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu and mythbuntu but not lubuntu, any help? [12:18] AnttiM: maybe it just persists your home folder === avernos__ is now known as avernos [12:18] deej1976: Hmmm [12:18] hmm === Guest74183 is now known as jasef [12:19] wh1zz0: Have you rebooted recently? [12:19] Ztak, amonst ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu and mythbuntu, which is best for slower computes [12:19] Hi guys. When I look at `df`, I see a partition named /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 --Does anyone know what program is handling that partition? I want to increase the partition size. Also, in my /etc/fstab I see a similar (but different) device: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 (mounted at / ) .. Any help? [12:19] Umer: xubuntu [12:19] ZtaK: so is there a way to make it persist all of the data on the disk? [12:19] Umer: I think you can make ubuntu into lubuntu by installing a package, can't you? [12:19] deej1976: Yeah.. I rebooted the phone and even the bb device [12:20] Umer: isn't there a lubuntu-desktop? [12:20] deej1976: Yeah.. I rebooted my machine ** and even the bb device [12:20] Ztak, how ? I am new to linux, i tried to find a way of installing lubuntu but couldn't then installed xubuntu [12:20] Umer: (I though you were referring to the process of installing Ubuntu along side of Windows, and not specifically Lubuntu -- sorry for my misleading answer at first) [12:21] Ztak, no problem brother, so is there a way of installing lubuntu without cd or usb? [12:21] HI everyone. How to switch rights for a mounted directory? Like it's done in samba? I need something for an NTFS folder [12:21] I find that there are fare few things still quite buggy or not functional at all in 11.10 [12:22] Is there a consolidated list somewhere of know issues with 11.10? [12:22] I'm a little confused how persistence is supposed to work. Is there anyone who has experience with using Ubuntu Live? [12:22] wh1zz0: Sorry, if nothing is displayed in /var/log/syslog then it looks like Linux isn't seeing it. If theres someone around with more BB/USB hopefully they can pick this up. [12:23] Umer: I haven't tried installing Lubuntu. But if you boot from a normal Ubuntu from cd or usb you get the option of installing it next to Microsoft Windows. I'd assume Lubuntu support the exact same. [12:23] I've upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Straight after the upgrade things seemed to have worked well, until I rebooted. Since then, it's as if none of the configurations ever take place: none of the settings lasts between sessions, changing the settings through the GUI (such as switching to dual screen mode) doesn't take effect, new keybindings don't take effect. What should I do to find out what's wrong? [12:23] ciao [12:23] Yes I have AnttiM but I did it with Multisystem so I haven't learned how to implement it manually as of yet [12:23] deej1976: Just chekced the log again while it's blugged to my machine, and this is the error I'm now getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/738153/ [12:23] Umer: Why do you want a non-usb or non-cd installation? And have you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu ? [12:24] OK. I have an Mysql database DIR which is located in NTFS partition. NTFS partition is mounted with rights (root:plugdev). mysql server is started as mysql:mysql.... How to resolve the problem?

You could always install it on disk =) [12:25] deej1976: Uhmmm... but I can still add things and delete from memory card [12:25] then thy just xrandr [12:25] deej1976: I think memory is fine [12:25] try [12:25] BuGo: [12:26] wh1zz0: can you try another memory card, just to check and elimanate [12:26] deej1976: Okie let me try that [12:26] hiyas all [12:26] it shows all connected monitors but how i alias them in xcalib -d option? one accepts :0 but xrandr is not showing :0 or smth near the monitor that i change [12:26] hiays :) [12:27] then ? deej1976 [12:27] [#ubuntu] aertyui: You need to create 3 local users on the machine, and allow sudo for them [12:27] BuGo: Have you got NVIDIA graphic card?

[12:34] BuGo: xrandr --verbose -q [12:35] BuGo: You defenetly have to read xorg.conf man page... I simply don't remember such info [12:35] it only worked when I made it within Ubuntu environment, with Ubuntu startup disk creator [12:36] before that I had already tried three different live usb creators in Windows [12:36] AnttiM: sounds like a bug [12:36] they just didn't do their job right [12:36] bug where [12:36] unable to boot in linux, if it is created in windows [12:37] hey monkeydust know anything about boot issues [12:37] yeah but three different programs and they all have the same bug?

Do anyone know how you configure Ubuntu 11.10 to use two Network Cards (No GUI)? i'm getting errors when i try to make a second eth1 in /etc/networking [12:38] what kind of boot issue? [12:38] dang idk why im having such issues trying to install ubuntu on this laptop [12:38] create a bootable linux live usb [12:39] i was playing minecraft for a few days, then all of the sudden it stopped working. it seems to be a universal problem with my java, that has made minecraft throw a fatal error out of nowhere. there haven't been any updates the last 2 days or so, and it's also doing it with a cracked version that i know for a fact has no updates. [12:39] grub just doesn't boot my bios just skips my hdd in the boot order [12:39] what could have caused it to just go out?

[12:42] whats odd is this isn't the first time i've installed ubuntu on this laptop and when i actually get installed i know im going to have some wifi issues [12:43] so how can it be that Universal USB Installer, LinuxLive USB Creator, and UNetbootin have the same bug that's failing them altogether? [12:44] seems to me quite improbable, that's all [12:44] yes [12:45] i think i fixed it gonna try and reboot be back [12:46] I've also tried installing two different versions of Ubuntu, with the same results [12:46] Per-Arne_, I use ssh to do my socks proxy :P [12:46] how to share wired connection via wifi to my tablet pc? [12:46] I've used two different USB drives [12:46] on two different computers [12:46] all the same [12:46] hmmm ill try that jasef. thanks! [12:47] dear friends, I am able to write a table on phpmyadmin but i don't know the use i can do of the table can you help me? [12:47] anybody got firefox 8 on ubuntu 11.10 [12:47] AnttiM: is this the first time this happens on this laptop [12:47] desktop [12:47] desktop ;) [12:47] The line I use to connect is 'ssh -D localhost:1080 user@server' [12:48] yes, it's the first time ever I have tried linux live usb [12:48] Per-Arne_, ^ that just creates a socks proxy on port 1080 of the computer you run it on, and pushes all traffic through the server, and between you and the server is nice and encrypted :) [12:48] luca_bi: What language to you want to use? Have you explored the use of google and find tutorials? [12:48] find = finding* [12:49] AnttiM: have you tried more than one distro? [12:49] and then the one program that actually let me run Ubuntu Live from usb, lost the whole persistence file [12:49] yes, two of them [12:49] ok [12:49] 10.04.3 and 11.10 [12:49] deej1976: the language is php but you can use phpmyadmin without writing code in php [12:49] AnttiM: and something completely different, fedora or so? [12:49] no [12:50] deej1976: this because phpmyadmin is a good interface which simplify php code [12:50] luca_bi: I know what phpmyadmin is [12:51] deej1976: My problem is that I don't understand which is the role of these tables [12:51] luca_bi: But the clue is in the name: phpmyADMNIN, I don't believe you can make useable applications in it [12:51] deej1976, correct me if I'm wrong... but wasn't the question about tables, not 'usable applications' [12:52] ? [12:52] jasef: so basicly it works just like, say for example Your freedom? [12:52] luca_bi: This is no long a ubuntu support question, and is more about php/mysql [12:52] or dante for that matter [12:52] Per-Arne_, I have no idea what 'Your freedom' is, I can tell you that I use it for APT, and for web browsing [12:52] My Wireless stopped working after a recent Ubuntu update. The troubleshooting docs on the official site are no help. Does anyone know some useful ones or if this is a known issue with a known fix? [12:53] Reliant: does running the command iwconfig in the terminal, list the device? [12:53] deej1976: What is the best channel i can ask this question? I think you can create usable applications without writing in php [12:53] tomodachi: Yes [12:53] deej1976, my mistake, I apologize for correcting you, I was wrong. [12:53] q [12:53] luca_bi: There are many applications you can use with out writting php ( wordpress, joomla ) [12:54] jasef: :d [12:54] Trying to connect to a wireless network I only get the message "Disconnected - you are now offline" [12:54] i need to get apm installed on my laptop.... when i run apmd (which i am guessing is the right program) i get an error message 'No apm support in kernal'.... my boot config file has a line 'CONFIG_APM=m'... could someone point me in the right direction for configuing this please? [12:54] luca_bi, phpMyAdmin is not usable to create applications, it only creates the backend structure to store information for other applications, such as blogging software, forums, etc. [12:54] deej1976: I prefer using phpmyadmin because it's the application which my host company gives to me [12:55] luca_bi: Please see jasef comment [12:55] jasef: Really? [12:55] there we go. Deleted the connection and re-entered the key, and now it works [12:55] luca_bi, Yes. I'm very sure about this. [12:56] jasef: So with LAMP structure you cannot create applications? [12:56] luca_bi, PHPMyAdmin is designed like an excel spreadsheet editor. It doesn't make the user interface for you. [12:56] luca_bi, you run "apps" on a LAMP structure, using PHP & MySQL [12:56] luca_bi, for web applications, you can use LAMP, but you WRITE the applications in PHP. The PHP application uses MySQL as a backend to store data. [12:56] I just got a spam tell from sedena asking me to go to a website [12:57] Reliant, me too [12:57] jasef: But I know that you can import .sql file in phpmyadmin [12:57] yes, .sql is exported data [12:57] luca_bi, a .sql file is only a database. It is NOT an application [12:57] jasef: you can also export these kind of file [12:58] luca_bi, I know what you can do with phpMyAdmin. I happen to be a PHP/MySQL developer. [12:59] jasef: So with phpmyadmin I cannot modify my website? [12:59] If I am in the wrong room for my question please let me know [12:59] hello there [12:59] !apm [12:59] !ask: jtheishi [12:59] lol [13:00] no j in my name deej1976 [13:00] luca_bi, short answer is no. I wouldn't recommend anyone who's not familiar with database structure principles to even try to edit anything with phpmyadmin. Any website that you could possibly edit with phpmyadmin would have a much easier interface for editing it. [13:00] is there anysoft to process full check hardware ? [13:00] !ask: theishi [13:00] theishi: you may want to tell the channel why you are wanting apm. it could be its been replaced by somthing else. [13:00] theishi: tried "sudo modprobe apm" before starting apmd? [13:00] luca_bi, if you want to create a website solely with phpmyadmin, then NO, it is NOT possible [13:00] ok dr_willis [13:01] bbl. [13:01] I have NotIon windows manager installed and I am using a notebook. I had the enjoyable experience of finding out the hard way that I no longer have a reminder to plug in my laptop when I forget..... I am trying to install a plugin that will display the current battery life on my status bar and I am told apm is needed [13:04] This is my laptop during a power failure: "You have 2 hours of battery life remaining" <2 minutes later, battery dies> [13:05] Hi.

[13:12] jasef: I'm studying php on a tutorial but I can write my website also without knowing php and this is my problem because i can add files, links, images, whatever I want on altervista do you know? [13:13] luca_bi, I don't understand the question. [13:13] hi [13:14] I have an old feisty server... I would like gdm doesn't start automatic... and start it with startx if I want it.. how to stop gdm starting at boot? [13:14] jasef: The question is how can I put a .php file on my website? [13:14] luca_bi, upload it through either FTP, or a file manager, if your website's control panel has one. [13:15] Someone know if it's possible to install unbuntu on asus eeepad transformer ? [13:15] Psykofloyd, can't say for sure, but I have it on an Eeepc myself [13:16] Psykofloyd i don't think so [13:16] jasef: Yes my website has a control panel but I thought tha I could import my .php file with phpmyadmin but you teach to me that it is not possible isn't? [13:16] Q) 10.04 Server tasksel install lamp-server all works fine except netstat -antp show no 443. Q) how do i get https working ? thanks... [13:16] ok thanks have a good day [13:16] luca_bi, No, it's NOT possible - phpmyadmin is, unlike its name may seem like, NOT for administration on PHP, it's for managing a MySQL serer === [sanyi] is now known as [Sanyi] [13:18] ping [13:19] jasef: And if a want to put a file .php on my website what should I do? [13:19] salut [13:19] random123, type 'sudo a2ensite default-ssl', then 'sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf' and add a NameVirtualHost and Listen directive for 443, then type 'sudo service apache2 reload' === Timic_ is now known as Timic [13:20] luca_bi, use your control panel.

[13:23] (for my nick) [13:24] booh-, to disable gdm from starting at boot, type 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove', to re-enable it later, type 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults' [13:24] ivanbcn, #freenode - this is an Ubuntu support channel [13:24] thanks jasef, I found rcconf ;-) [13:24] oops, thanks [13:24] hello [13:25] how do I upgrade ubuntu that is on a flash disk [13:25] luca_bi, No. Joomla is a CMS. If you have a cPanel link, use the file manager in that - otherwise, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic. This channel is for supporting Ubuntu, not for general tech support [13:25] drecute, is it installed properly to it, or is it a live startup disk with persistence?

Do you mean it no longer starts? If so... I suppose you could technically boot off of a USB stick and chroot, and do-release-upgrade to try to upgrade, but I'm not sure how well it will work [13:28] the ubuntu on the laptop is saying "gave up waiiting for the root device" [13:29] drecute, if you boot from the USB, do you have access to your documents from Ubuntu? [13:29] i'm booting from the ubuntu on the usb stick now and it all stops at the ubuntu logo [13:30] drecute - just download the latest ubuntu and boot from it - then either upgrade or re-install [13:30] either CD or usb [13:30] jasef: i can't even get to the desktop [13:30] RaTTuS|BIG: what about my existing setup and configuration [13:30] jasef: I think there isn't a file manager on my host company [13:30] jasef, ive been trying this ssh proxy thingy now but doesnt seem to understand it fully. ive currenty found this: ssh -D 9999 -C me@ipaddress.com am i supposed to write this on the server or on the client?

[15:49] :)) [15:50] proxx yes, here to others AP, or in my home, to my AP [15:51] zaxonspox; thats funny, it could be that your driver is an idiot [15:51] zaxonspox; iam by no means an expert, just to state that, what chipset do you have? [15:52] proxx can it be some AP conf issue? The security mode is WPA2 Pers., WPA alg. is AES [15:53] compdoc: so when creating the partition I should select "align to MiB" ? [15:53] zaxonspox; thats indeed possible, than again, if you can connect to other AP's with the same encryption, than its funny [15:53] proxx Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY, the AP is set to 11b/g/n Mixed Mode [15:53] zaxonspox, to configure wpa/wpa2 require lot of lunix skills i don't think so you will be able to configure that..

[16:13] !notunity |odla [16:13] proxx the wicd [16:13] odla: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [16:13] zaxonspox; Wicd ? from the menu [16:13] zaxonspox >>internet>>wicd i think [16:14] proxx, got it, what next? [16:14] yes in the internet [16:14] zaxonspox, can you connect to your AP with that [16:15] I think wicd is not good for wireless [16:15] proxx "No wifi detected" [16:15] geoffmcc: was trying to do in a specific protocol.

[16:18] i tried 11, realized the partion tables don't interact correctly, and now i'm working towards 10.04lts [16:19] any suggested tweaks to make to gnome shell? [16:19] jason00, it does not show that option on a desktop [16:19] How can i access windows xp registry? [16:20] DemoOn, how do you mean? [16:20] Anyone know how to make my (Nokia) phone into a modem for my ubuntu netbook? [16:20] jason00 the brightness options i saw only with proprietary diveres from nVidia or ATI [16:20] Muphrid: okay. I was just looking for a quick way to tone down the brightness across both monitors. I like the visibility of lighter themes (Adwaita on Gnome Shell is pretty slick) but it's pretty bright when it's 2 am and I'm working in a dark room. Being able to quickly change brightness across both monitors evenly would be sweet... [16:20] DemoOn, start run type in regedit [16:20] zaxonspox: that has to be incorrect, as I'm using the open source ATI drivers on my laptop and I have that capability.

Even after a purge and reinstall it won't find it [16:24] zaxonspox: do you have the brightness options in system settings - screen? [16:24] Whereas alsamixer can find it fine [16:24] Pavilliox: is the appropriate sound card selected in system settings? [16:25] Pavilliox, whats the output of aplay -l [16:25] nbubuntu, i heard of some app in linux, like web browser (epiphany?) that were able to do that [16:25] Muphrid: http://pastie.org/2862392 [16:25] jason00, no, i dont have [16:25] jason00: It won't let me select it, that's the problem D: [16:25] zaxonspox : tried with HTTrack , but it does work well [16:26] nbubuntu: some sites protect against it, but you can try wget -mk http://www.site.com [16:26] zaxonspox: I have an Intel GMA on my other laptop, but I have that option... [16:26] zaxonspox: its just a slider... [16:26] Ugh... does anyone know if Shorewall uses iptables or if it directly controls Netfilter? [16:26] Is it possible to dual boot ubuntu 11 with mac osx? I read somewhere about problems that can be encountered [16:26] jason00, i have only Monitor Pref. [16:27] hey all.. I'm running 11.04 and my monitor every so often blinks off and on. It is probably the video card but if not, is there something else I can be looking at? === tomp is now known as tom3p [16:27] geoffmcc : the reason is , I wanted to copy a login base forum [16:27] zaxonspox: I dont even see monitor preferences. You don't see "SCREEN" in system settings? I have yet to see a system that DIDNT have screen... [16:27] hello friends... can anyone here help-me with some problems in Ubuntu Server? [16:27] geoffmcc : which a thread required a login to view , HTTrack doesn't support it [16:27] Muphrid: Any idea? [16:27] sethetter, most of the people simply don't use mac simply cannot effort it .. [16:28] Pavilliox, have you tried looking at the official sound troubleshoot guide? [16:28] Muphrid: I have, I've reinstalled pulseaudio and alsa-core and everything else after purgeing and it just doesn't work [16:28] Muphrid: My sound works fine, alsamixer works fine it's just pulseaudio [16:28] jason00, i don see, as i have other language, but searched anything that might be a SCREEN, but onlu Monitor Pref. (the connected monitors, resolution, refresh rate) [16:29] maxxx: yeah i understand. i'm looking to get out of the proprietary crap that mac dishes out and start developing in a completely oss environment..

[16:30] sethetter, may be some other session of ubuntu if some one or many use ubuntu through mac..:)) [16:30] :( [16:31] sethetter, i really wanted to help [16:31] maxxx: no worries you have, i may try a different version [16:32] maxxx: 10.04lts seems to say it works with macbooks more smoothly [16:32] anyone have any idea why i all of a sudden cannot open Deluge? i had some torrents queued up, and halfway through the xfer, deluge locked up. i rebooted, and now when i try to launch deluge, i get the 'starting deluge' tile in the bottom, then it never opens. nothing in TOP, no sign of life out of it. even after reinstalling it will not open. anyone have any idea how to fix this? [16:32] nick Pithikos [16:32] sethetter, you can find out by working on virtual box instead === NotAnonymous is now known as Pithikos [16:32] does anyone in here know how cronjobs work? :/ [16:32] illDecree, try opening it from terminal [16:33] bubu: I'm sure many people do. Best to just ask your question. [16:33] bubu: isn't your job running at all or does it just fail to do what you expect? [16:33] maxxx: sounds good i will try that === cantonic_ is now known as cantonic [16:34] Gentoo64: i've tried that a few times [16:34] sethetter, all try in virtual box and then see can they manage and then really go for dual boot [16:35] illDecree, any reason you need deluge? you could try transmission it might be more reliable [16:36] if theres no errors showing i cant really say what it could be [16:36] Pici, llutz , the job it runs works fine but the cronjob just doesnt seem to be running at all... [16:36] logged in as root user, crontab -l [16:36] 15 03 * * * root mysqldump --add-drop-table --single-transaction --all-databases -u blablabla -pblablabla databaseip [16:36] illDecree: rm ~/.config/deluge/persistent.state in term. this will remove all torrents, but when readded will start where left off [16:37] Gentoo64: i'd like to recoup the xfers i had going. i'd use transmission if i could just get the xfers i had queued up finished. it was a LOT of data. i tried opening in terminal again after a reinstall just now, and i get this, among many other things: (deluge:12002): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", [16:37] do i not need the user in there? I cant find a cron.allow or .deny file [16:37] Gentoo64, illDecree ,deluge is somewhat of a hog vs transmission [16:37] bubu: The format of a user's crontab does not include the user that is running the cron. remove 'root' from there. [16:37] i prefer deluge [16:37] oki [16:37] thanks :) [16:38] BluesKaj, i know. i was just saying [16:38] illDecree, you should be able to keep the files, and transmission should take over the download [16:38] hi Gentoo64 [16:38] if you add the torrent again [16:38] BluesKaj: i prefer deluge over transmission; i guess transmission seems to basic for me. i'll give it a go though if i could just get this issue resolved! [16:38] maxb, hi [16:38] maxxx, [16:39] Gentoo: i've tried addign the torrent again as well. nothing works. [16:39] from transmission? [16:40] illDecree, have you used kget [16:40] fdh [16:40] is there a way to password protect a folder, so it asks for the password each time you go/open it? [16:40] maxxx: no. what is kget? a torrent client? [16:41] I have several config files that I would like to regularly backup with SpiderOak... I want to create a directory that contains copies of these files (something like symlinks)... what would be the easiest way to set up someway of automatically syncing the files without symlinks (SpiderOak doesn't support them), that would be easy to add new files to be backedup? [16:41] illDecree, ! kget [16:41] gentoo64: no, not from transmission. i'll try that now [16:41] ! kget [16:41] geoffmcc : nope , tried few times still fail [16:42] illDecree, !kget [16:42] hi [16:42] opening the torrent again in transmission starts it from the beginning [16:42] :-/ [16:42] can someone tell me why when i boot into my desktop i am only shown a nautilus title bar at the top, no system try no unity launch, nothing. [16:43] it was working fine, and i installed a few apps from software center [16:43] illDecree, it should start from where it was and check the file [16:43] hi everybody .... I would like to set -march=native as default so that every time I compile a package this is ste up [16:44] Gentoo64: unfortunately, no. i'm trying again with another torrent [16:45] hmm it used to for me when i switched torrents from rtorrent to transmission [16:45] nbubuntu: sorry. only other thing i can think of would be an rsync -a (see man for rsync to see how to supply username/password) [16:45] ct529: you could include it in a CFLAGS environment variable. not sure it's a strictly good idea, but it should work. [16:46] I have a t520 running 11.10 oneiric, how do I turn on the external video? [16:48] sipior: a CFLAGS that is permanent and global? === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [16:48] ct529: well, as permanent as any other environment variable, yes. [16:49] theishi: use hard links instead [16:50] sipior: I meant, would it be rewritten by the CFLAGS variable that is in the Makefiles? [16:50] brjannc: can i use that for directories as well [16:50] ct529, the makefiles will override it afaik [16:50] ct529: most makefiles are sensible enough to append such things. if not, patch the makefile. [16:50] you could set export CFLAGS="" in /etc/profile [16:50] theishi: no, you can only hard link files [16:50] alo [16:51] anyone knows the exact configuration for dhcp3 server? [16:52] Gentoo64: i just realized i can't use Transmission. i don't see a place in it's settings to configure a proxy [16:52] there should be.. [16:52] sipior: Gentoo64: what I am trying to do at the moment, is to write a script that substitutes the original CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS with CFLAGS= -Wall -O3 -g -march=native [16:52] does anybody know if OpenSSL 1.0.0e security fixes are going to be backported to Lucid? For example, CVE-2011-3207 and CVE-2011-3207 [16:52] crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c in OpenSSL 1.0.x before 1.0.0e does not initialize certain structure members, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass CRL validation by using a nextUpdate value corresponding to a time in the past. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-3207) [16:52] ct529, for all packages? [16:52] sipior: Gentoo64: do you know of any script to do so? [16:52] I don't suppose anybody here has any experience in setting up a WPA2-Enterprise Wifi network using debian or ubuntu as the Freeradius server? [16:53] Gentoo64: only for the kernel, but the makefile structure is very complicated [16:53] leave the kernel as it is [16:53] you can turn off Os in the kernel itself [16:53] Gentoo64: what do you mean? [16:53] and it should use o2 [16:53] Ah, found it in Accessories/Settings/Settings Mananger/Display. [16:54] ct529, the kernel has options for similar things. i wouldnt use custom cflags on it [16:54] ct529: configure will generally honour the environmental variables it finds. that should be sufficient. don't use O3 in the kernel, btw (good lord) [16:54] Gentoo64: no, I am experimentig with kernel specifically compiled for my processor, with the -O3 --march=native flag on, to see how much we gain in term of performance [16:54] disable "optimize for size" [16:54] and select the cpu type you have ie core2/xeon [16:54] the kernel is best left as it is it has its own optimizations [16:54] Gentoo64: I thought --march=native was disabling potimize for size [16:54] no [16:54] hola???? [16:54] optimize for size is Os [16:55] disable that and you get O2 [16:55] :)) [16:55] ja [16:55] Gentoo64: well, actually generic amd64 is not very optimized [16:55] yes thats why you can choose [16:55] processor type [16:55] it has a small list [16:55] is "i havent gotten it"... as in "i get it" in past sense, correct english? [16:55] on my i5 i use core2/newer xeon [16:56] when i login, i am not presented with the desktop, but 1 titlebar at the top [16:56] Gentoo64: exactly, this is what I did, but at compilation time I want to use --march=native, because I have noticed a difference on other compiled packages [16:56] how can i reset? [16:56] Squarism, i think so [16:56] Gentoo64: why would you not use -O3? [16:56] ct529, probably placebo [16:56] Gentoo64: what do you mean? [16:56] ct529, O3 will slow down 99.9% of packages [16:56] makes bigger binaries [16:56] Gentoo64: why? [16:56] need more cache [16:56] and more hdd time [16:57] use O2 globally === tixos is now known as Tixos [16:57] and O3 for very specific things [16:58] pula-n pizda [16:58] and leave the kernel to choose the optimizations. i wouldnt touch it with manual cflags [16:58] hi [16:58] salut [16:58] someone tell me if im visible [16:58] tixos, yes [16:58] yes you are visible [16:58] right ok [16:58] what the fuck is this ?

[17:00] Nisideo: please type /j #ubuntu-offtopic [17:00] ct529, for very processor intensive stuff it probably is [17:00] ct529, but like i said i wouldnt use that globally [17:01] ct529: you're neglecting the increased rate of cache misses. [17:01] MonkeyDust: maybe help me instead of worrying about some clowns [17:01] MonkeyDust and if i dont want ? what ? [17:01] Gentoo64: it is a production machine used to run economic models [17:01] ct529, i dont know what that involves [17:01] I'm trying to use wicd but can't seem to get the applet icon to show up in the unity panel. Any hints? [17:01] sipior: could you please explain, or point me out to some documentation? [17:02] ct529, O3 uses more cpu cache [17:02] Gentoo64: very intensive numericcal calculations [17:02] the smaller the O the smaller the cache needs [17:02] ct529: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/CFLAGS [17:02] tixos: issue doesn't ring a bell, cant say [17:02] Gentoo64: sipior: so what size of cache for -O3? === Nisideo is now known as ``BrainWash`` [17:02] can you tell me how to reset unity / xorg? === magg is now known as haji [17:03] ct529: if you don't know what it does, should you really be playing with it on a production machine?

[17:34] lexflex: "for now" was 27 oct, maybe it's possible on 64 bit by now [17:34] bullgard4, okies [17:35] bullgard4: And how can I fix it? Wheres the directory /build and why ist a .c File missing, firefox should be compiled, shouldnt it? [17:36] Hello, when I first installed Ubuntu on this computer, Nautilus discovered and could connect to my Win7 SMB server just fine. I bookmarked it, even. Now, it doesn't see it at all, nor does using the bookmark help reach it. Any idea why? What can I do to fix it? [17:36] Dark_Apostrophe, are you well connected with it ? ping ok ? [17:37] Is it possible to see what someone has downloaded on Apache? I would like to share some files with someone, but I'd like to know which ones they accessed/downloaded. Is this possible?

[17:37] bullgard4: where is [17:37] lighta: yep [17:38] rypervenche: /var/log/apache2/access.log [17:38] hmm, did you try with other soft ? lie gigolo, doplhin ? [17:38] No [17:38] monkeydust: also, i don't think this walkthrough applies to my system or at least its not written good enough so i can follow through [17:38] I used to lie gigolo for that [17:38] give a try Dark_Apostrophe and tell me if that helped [17:39] alright [17:39] bullgard4: Sry, I mean where is this file located? [17:39] Trizinix: although i have not had that exact problem with firefox, i find most problems with it can be resolved by deleting the /home/user/.mozilla/firefox directory and then opening up firefox again [17:39] irc.explosionirc.it [17:40] Trizinix: I do not know where your directory /build is. You can use the program »find« to find out. I don't think that Firefox should be compiled if a .c file is missing.

[17:50] z3r0c007: bug 877440 is yours ?

[17:52] i try already the command device pair and unpaired but there no result in my computer [17:53] if I use unetbootin and install instead of just booting into the OS, should it then work when it asks to reset? [17:53] yup [17:53] should work fine [17:53] i've tried this procedure three times now, on three different laptops and two different OSes [17:53] and all I get when i remove the USB key and boot from HDD is a blinky _ [17:53] hmmmm [17:54] what did you use to make the usb? [17:54] i really don't understand what im doing wrong [17:54] linux? [17:54] unetbootin on windoze [17:54] from an image ive downloaded [17:54] strange, only time thats happened to me is on linux when i didnt give it enough privileges [17:54] tpyo, check the md5 checksum of the image first [17:55] how do i use ubuntu-tweak to change GRUB settings??? [17:55] surely if the file is broken then the installation process will fail, no? [17:55] not necessarily, sounds like grub is broken [17:55] i boot in, do a full install, everything is lovely [17:55] not always. not necessarily [17:55] then blinky light [17:55] the bootloader? [17:55] yeah === slow-motion_ is now known as slow-motion === Amit is now known as Guest30757 [17:56] ive had installs get to that point (when i dualed win7 and ubunutu) [17:56] z3r0c007: I have left a comment on the bug report [17:56] and going to ubuntu gives me blinky light [17:56] ah, ok, misunderstood [17:56] is the blinky _ like the most generic error possible or something? [17:56] ok thanks popey [17:57] i just find it strange that all 3 installs ive done with different OSes and hardware result in the same problem [17:57] like im doing something fundamentally wrong [17:57] i am a linux newb [17:57] please dear friends i do not know which operating system to make my new primary OS. windows 7, os X lion or ubuntu 11.10? [17:58] as you're in an ubuntu IRC channel, everyone will say ubuntu :P [17:58] can i use scp to transfer data across wan without encryption? [17:58] i would say stick with linux and kep thee others there [17:58] tpyo, you intsall from usb to hardisk. then it gives you msg that installation is done. then you press restart. then it ask you to remove intsallaiotn medium. thenyou remove pen drive and press enter and then it restarts and then ti should get a grup menu. in this sequeence where you are going wrong? [17:58] lexflex: it's better to use ubuntu 11.10 [17:58] because we use wan accelerator to transfer encrypted/compressed data [17:58] should I expect compiz to work with unity on an ATI mobility radeon x1600? [17:58] can't I get Thunderbird to stay in the tray? [17:58] I see no option for that in the Preferences [17:58] appi_uppi: yes, but only if the remote sshd has been configured to allow "null" (I think it is nuill) as an encryption type. [17:58] lexflex you never know when you need some piece of software that works on the other OS's [17:58] Tamale_, yeah, should work [17:59] lexflex, the one which makes your works easy and which is working as per your tase and satisying your needs. [17:59] Barbarian: I'm getting "Compiz (opengl) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual" [17:59] Barbarian: when running "compiz --replace &" [17:59] Odaym, there was another app which does the thing of putting another app in tray [17:59] hmmm [17:59] gtg [17:59] you got proprietary drivers installed and working? [17:59] hi Abhijit, thanks for explaining the process. Last installation I did, I load from USB, it gives me options (boot into USB, scan memory, install, etc) I choose install. Install works fine, it reboots. If I leave the USB drive IN, it boots off the USB (default), if I remove it I get blinky underscore [18:00] appi_uppi: my understanding though is on ubuntu you may need to rebuild the sshd package to allow you to do that. [18:00] the thing is that ubuntu - of all three - makes my work the hardest as i am fiddling all the time with issues that are "just working" on windows and os x. then again, i think both microsoft and apple are just E-V-I-L [18:00] Barbarian: sounds like the proprietary drivers aren't supported anymore for cards as old as mine [18:00] tpyo, which working os you already have installed there? [18:00] I've heard people say open-source should work fine [18:00] !ot [18:00] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:00] on the last machine I did this on. None [18:00] lexflex, pls come to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:01] only one machine that ive done this one had another OS, the other two were clean [18:01] Tamale_: Lemme go do some googlin', see what I find [18:01] tpyo, and which is that os you are trying to install adn getting problem? [18:01] Barbarian: thank you [18:01] either Xubuntu or Ubuntu Studio [18:01] those are the two I have tried [18:01] Ubuntu studio twice, Xubuntu once [18:02] what kind of error does a blinky underscore suggest. Is it not very common? [18:02] tpyo, at what stage? [18:03] Tamale_: try this driver http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run [18:03] any idea how to control which network interface a process/program(s) use to connect to the internet? [18:03] immediately after boot [18:03] e.g. post bios [18:03] Barbarian: you sure propreitary is best bet? [18:03] all: i moved my interesting and highly controversial question to #ubuntu-offtopic as suggested by Abhijit. feel free to join and see how things turn out in the ever lasting fight of the OSes [18:03] Tamale_: When it comes to hardware, normally yes. [18:04] tpyo, try reinstalling grub [18:04] like when you'd expect some console talking about booting or a nice screen showing the OS name and loading bar.... i get a blinky underscore instead === Chosi is now known as Choseh [18:04] tpyo: Nvidia display? [18:04] no, Intel [18:04] they're all low spec laptops [18:04] tpyo: you get something if you press ctrl+alt+F5? [18:04] Is Ubuntu server set up not to auto mount CDrom disks like the desktop version? === Choseh is now known as Chosi [18:05] lemme try that [18:05] Hi everyone [18:05] o/ [18:06] cucuccu [18:06] short question installing ubuntu server on a software raid 10 how long should it normally take [18:06] typo: i get that too, it locks up the whole pc, have to hold down power button to get to turn off, but for me its display. i have to go into bios and turn dual display off and then it boots like a charm [18:06] Barbarian, no, ctrl+alt+f5 does nothing, + del still reboots and nothing appears on the screen [18:07] geoffmcc, id totally understand if it was the display except the Xubunut one at least boots fine off the usb [18:07] KHendrik: depends on LOTS of factors. I wouldn't imagine it would take more than an hour though (unless you have HUGE disk or soemthing) [18:07] tpyo, i had the same problem with my fresh install. i booted rescue mode, and executed update-grub2 (or such) - then it worked after reboot [18:08] how do i boot rescue mode? [18:08] from the usb? [18:08] tpyo, just boot another system (same architecture, livecd, usb, etc) [18:08] tpyo, should be on the menu where u select OS [18:08] Barbarian, thats the menu he does not get ;-) [18:08] oh lol [18:08] nvm me :D [18:08] ssta: It#s been almost two hours so I#m kindof worried that something is wrong still the progress bar is at 40% [18:09] KHendrik, that is too long. but you can alt-f2 to a shell, use top, chroot /target, press alt-f4 to see logs etc [18:09] KHendrik: sure you set it up right? [18:10] theborger, pretty sure did it all before [18:10] yea something not right [18:10] KHendrik: hmm...that doesn't sound good to me... [18:10] so i chose help and got a console [18:10] indeed [18:10] but any combination of update -grub2 [18:11] sven_, top not found [18:11] doesn't seem to be good.... [18:11] so like... do I need to search somewhere to find the right command or am I at a bad prompt? [18:11] KHendrik, you first have to "chroot /target" - there you have what is installed so far in tools etc.... [18:11] should I execute from the USB instead into "proper" xubuntu? === mohammad is now known as Guest2581 [18:11] * tpyo apologises for not knowing what he is doing D: [18:12] tpyo, so you booted from usb/cd, then mount your harddrive (mount /dev/sda???? /mnt) and chroot into it (chroot /mnt) - to find out which sda??? you need to use... either try sda1 sda2...5 or use your knowledge to find out :) [18:12] Is Ubuntu server set up not to auto mount CDrom disks like the desktop version? [18:13] K4k, i woul wonder if it did [18:13] What's the difference between Libre Office and Open Office, and why did the default processor change from 10.4 to 11.10? [18:14] Jonii, libre is a fork, due to unclear support of openoffice's new owner - for you it should be the same [18:14] Jonii: libre office is a fork of openoffice [18:14] top looks normal to me [18:15] sven_: "for me it should be the same"? [18:15] sven_: Any idea how I can mount it manually? I can't find /dev/cdrom or anything else like that [18:15] KHendrik, any busy process? [18:15] K4k, cdr* sr* sd[abcd] dont know sorry [18:16] md1_raid10 and md1_resync but only like 4% cpu [18:16] Jonii, at the time of the fork taking place, both software products are 100% identical, then some names and logos get changed.... and thats where we are almost at [18:17] Pumpkin-, scp can't be used for encryption/compression? [18:17] Pumpkin-, err: without encryption [18:17] scp encrypts, and with the right parameters it compresses also - still i would not say it can be used for encryption/compression ;-) [18:17] typo: run livecd and then install and run Boot-Repair then reboot [18:18] Hello, Every time I try to install something i get this error, Media Change: please insert the disk labeled 'Ubuntu-Server 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091027.2)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter, how can i remove that? [18:18] no, as in ssh/scp hasa null encrpytion type, but enabling it is a huge pain. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/54180 [18:18] Launchpad bug 54180 in openssh (Ubuntu) "[rfe] sshd ought to support 'none' cipher" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [18:18] appi_uppi: you'd need to recompile it probably. Why would you want to though? [18:18] I hope my advice didn't kill Tamale_'s computer :P [18:18] the old classics [18:18] hi [18:18] Guess they will never work [18:19] i'm trying to compile a PHP extension and, when it gets to this line "config.status: executing libtool commands" it suddenly dies. how can i track this problem? [18:19] ssta, we have wan accelerator http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/ to encrypt/compress [18:20] While running Gnome, I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. It forcibly put me into Unity after the upgrade. I've installed gnome-panel. When I logout, I can't find a session option or something called Gnome. What do I do? === kev is now known as Guest57081 [18:20] bytesaber_work, in 11.04 you have the option of going into "classic" mode, which is unity [18:20] okay so I need to chroot to hop between the USB live version im running and the HDD... all the HDD is listed as is "59GB FileSystem". How do I find out what arguement i need to send to chroot? [18:21] bytesaber_work: so on the login screen, at the bottom of the screen, there should be the option [18:21] kazoo, in software sources you need to uncheck the cd from the list "installable from cdrom" [18:21] appi_uppi: yes, I mean why use scp? Why not rcp? or ftp? or basically anything that natively does what you want... [18:21] Barbarian, classic = unity? [18:21] bytesaber_work: classic != unity, iirc. [18:21] brb, gonna try classic [18:22] mattgyver, all i see is a cd's for 10.10 [18:22] and there unchecked. [18:22] would sudo apt-get upgrade do the job? or would it upgrade ubuntu as well [18:22] sven_, what do you think should I just start over again? [18:22] tpyo, well, as someone else suggested: if you have install media there might be a rescue/repair-grub option to do all this. but for manual: mount the HDD (click it) then see on what path it comes. most likely /media/blah... thats where you have to chroot to [18:22] ssta, the primary requirement was to use scp, but i found we can't do it using scp as it warrants ssl. Yeah I can try rcp or ftp [18:22] ssta, netcat? [18:23] appi_uppi: yeah, that works... [18:23] blah is a guid [18:23] that's normal? [18:23] ssta, will go through it then [18:23] oh im going to enjoy typing this baby out [18:23] bytesaber_work: did it work? [18:23] KHendrik, well, if you do the same as before, i'd bet it'll hang again. so i'd rather see whats wrong. what is top saying? any process hogging the cpu? what are the logs on alt-f4-6 telling? [18:23] ok, classic appears to be gnome. [18:23] any idea?? [18:23] Barbarian, ya thank you. Now to fix my 3d cube. [18:23] bytesaber_work: you're welcome. Good luck! [18:24] the ubuntu deity just think unity is the future or something? [18:24] please help [18:25] linuxlainen: whats your question? If sudo apt-get update will update ubuntu? [18:25] Yeah, It's still asking me for the DVD and i can't find it on the software sources list === dz is now known as Guest17623 [18:26] Barbarian: I just want to apply the security updates and other updates but without upgrading ubuntu to 11.10 [18:26] Linuxlainene: sudo apt-get update will not upgrade version [18:26] awesome, i have chrooted. Now how is one able to update grub? update is not recognised as a command. did I mean uupdate or lupdate? [18:26] sven_, no cpu is fine but the log is full of :"util-linux pre-depends on .... ...is unpacked but has never been configured dpkg:warning: ignoring pre-dependency problem!" [18:27] Barbarian: sudo apt-get update will only update the library but will not install anything [18:27] Linuxlainen: update synchronizes (with) the servers; upgrade, well, upgrades [18:27] Barbarian: I want to install the updates, but without upgrading ubuntu [18:27] gastly you here still [18:27] ? [18:27] linuxlainen: itll upgrade all software installed, if a newer version availuable, it will update 11.04 if any updates are availuable, it will NOT go to 11.10 [18:28] Barbarian: perfect, thank you. upgrade it is then [18:28] i can only install ubuntu inside e partiton when i choose to install with windows [18:28] its a bummer [18:29] blueblue2u: linux works with partitions, that is correct [18:29] i want to put lubuntu in /root partition and boot to whichever i choose at startup [18:29] i have 4 part. 1 swap 1ntfs 2 ext4 [18:29] root is part of lubuntu [18:30] i want the opyiom to boot either os windows or ubuntu [18:30] "sudo update-grub" "cannot create dev/null: permission denied". Why would it deny permission if I am sudoing? [18:30] i'm in ubuntu classic, (gnome). i can't move windows around. The maximize, minimize buttons are missing. When I pick a different theme, they don't appear. What is going on?? Am I being encourged to use Unity? [18:30] blueblue2u: GRUB gives you the choice to boot in either one [18:31] i made the partitions in gparted but if you choose instal alog side ubuntu in the instaler it boot windows and only gives the choice to install to windows partiton [18:31] bytesaber_work: sounds like your window decorations are missing [18:31] do i need to instal grub seperate or what? [18:31] bytesaber_work: Get compizconfigsettings-manager and run it with ccsm === davis is now known as Guest71471 [18:32] bytesaber_work: then just add window decorations (will be an option there) [18:32] monkeydust do i need to install grub seperate to be able to boot into windowsa or lubuntu? [18:32] ok. i'll look [18:32] blueblue2u: you can set the partitions during installation [18:32] no you cant i just ried [18:32] then you did something wrong [18:33] hi, need some aid. currently on ubuntu 11.10 unity desktop. is trying to change caja into the default open folder. had edited defaults.list in both /local/share/applications and usr/share/applications and added the caja.desktop. caja is confirmed working fine on ubuntu 11.10 but the change is not successful [18:33] im sry let me try again it said do you want to make a partition but i already did that [18:33] Does anyone know if I can run a virtualbox guest OS through Tor? So all connections in the virtual OS are through tor? [18:33] maybe i have to again [18:34] Barbarian, what do you mean run it with ccsm? [18:34] nertskull: pretty sure you can do that with torsocks, never tried it myself so it may need some persistance and trial-and-error, dont know [18:34] bytesaber_work: type ccsm in a terminal [18:34] Barbarian, oh just call it instead of click it. [18:34] blueblue2u: I would recommend *not* installing within Windows. [18:34] Barbarian, ok it's up. i'm looking to enable one called "window decoration" ? [18:34] bytesaber_work: oh, if you have an icon to click, equally good :D too used to command line myself [18:35] lemme look for it, 2 secs [18:35] Barbarian: thanks, I'll look into that [18:35] * bytesaber_work senses he is lucky Barbarian came to work today. [18:35] bytesaber_work first time ever helping people on this thing :D had a spare hour while i ate, so i thought "How hard can it be to help people?" [18:35] :D [18:36] >: ) === dada is now known as NateTut === TheLastProject_ is now known as TheLastProject [18:36] Barbarian, looking like i just want to enable all the stuff in Window Management ? [18:37] nooooo [18:37] definitely not [18:37] hello people has anyone done open GTS project on Ubuntu === Guest71471 is now known as dondausi [18:37] well a change of name.. that's a start [18:37] bytesaber_work: for comparison, what I have active is grid, move window, place window, scale, resize window [18:37] my terminal keeps telling me "unable to resolve host ubuntu". Sooooo im trying to recreate etc/hosts as it isn't there but the command that I found online: "gksu gedit /etc/hosts" results in: "no protocol specified". Am I doing something horribly wrong?

[19:40] Igoru: we've just had this conversation, NO [19:40] mark_: not the log, the program itself [19:40] ikonia sorry lol [19:40] no jordan [19:41] I'm trying to find the multiverse repository for ubuntu 10.04... [19:41] but I don't know where to search. [19:41] blueblue22: OK. Why do you have two of them? [19:41] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/738509 [19:41] hi [19:41] 1 for /home files one for ubuntu [19:42] i have to [19:42] do some excretions [19:42] Igoru, you can look at this too https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1042973 [19:42] blueblue22: Why do you want a separate /home partition? [19:42] i presently have attached a usb key (that im booting from, 8 gig) and a 60 gig HDD [19:42] Igoru, if i were you i'd give up. But if I were me I would be able to do it. [19:42] lol [19:42] omg this chanel is problems overflow [19:42] Igoru, and I am me! but i'm not doing that right now! ;-) [19:42] trijntje: no I don't [19:42] idk it seems easier [19:42] cant ever record desktop [19:43] quick question. when i right click on a file and choose "open with other application" it doesn't seem to show me any way of selecting options not on the list. anyone know how to do this? (11.10) [19:43] wat difference does it make [19:43] cant get ubuntu on either drive anyay [19:43] i have to [19:43] do some excretions [19:43] jbrks what do you mean? [19:43] this chanel is like a kindergarten [19:43] Igoru, all i can say is study the autoconf.. i think you have enough info from its make rules.. [19:43] wth is going on [19:43] lucy_c: I think you can add a custom command, if you know it for the program you want [19:44] i have to [19:44] do some excretions [19:44] mark_: what do you mean? [19:44] Jordan_U oh sorry I forgot to mention your name when I just posted it, sorry for repost if you saw it the first time :D : : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/738509/ [19:44] trijntje: any idea how to add a custom command. i'm failing to find an option for it. most odd. [19:44] trijntje: I don't know where the jockey pgm is [19:45] Hey all. [19:45] i have to [19:45] do some excretions [19:45] mark_: what desktop environment are you using? Do you have a big bar at the left of you screen? [19:45] Has anyone here installed ubuntu 11.1 on their macbook pro? [19:45] tpyo: That is very odd. Did you use automatic or manual partitioning in the installer? [19:45] i have to [19:45] do some excretions [19:45] I want to reinstall Ubuntu on my laptop. I have three OS's (Ubuntu, Win7, and another linux distro) and I want ubuntu to overwrite the previous ubuntu installation and the other linux distro, but not Windows. [19:46] How do I go about doing this? [19:46] into toilet [19:46] theextra: shut up troll. [19:46] theextra: enough now [19:46] no its not troll [19:46] i only want that nobody writes me [19:46] with my problem [19:46] Jordan_U_bak automatic [19:46] yes when I move the cursor there, I thnk the desktop is called unity [19:46] Jordan_U_bak, what is odd? [19:46] phreeon: start from live cd/usb, delete ubuntu + other distro, leave the space empty. Then do a regular install, the installer should default to the empty space [19:47] Delete using the advanced partitioning tool? [19:47] ppl why there isn't a service manager yet that supports both upstart and sysv? [19:47] how do i stop ubuntu from making my hard drive spin 24/7 without going into sleep ? [19:47] tpyo: It's odd that somehow Ubuntu's installer did not install grub to any of the drives currently plugged in. [19:47] mark_: thats right, if you click on the top item of that bar you will open the dash/main menu. If you type jockey there you should get the program (it can be named differently) [19:48] Jordan_U, is it the first line that states this? : => No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda. [19:48] trijntje, also will your method take care of the bootloader too? [19:48] i.e. how do I identify this is the case without someone as awesome as you helping me? :) [19:48] phreeon: you can youse gparted from the live cd/usb. Just pick 'try ubuntu without installing' to prepare the drive, and then click 'install ubuntu' when you are done [19:48] my drive stays heated ... my computer can just be sitting around and nto doing anything because im not using it [19:48] Awesome [19:48] Thank you [19:48] trijntje: it picked up a driver package, but it is the same one which I tried to load yesterday and it failed. [19:48] jbrks the problem is that i'm new to compiling process. i cant even really understand what you told me to do :S [19:48] phreeon: dont forget to backup your data first! messing with partitions can cause dataloss [19:49] Yup [19:49] tpyo: Yes, that's the important set of lines. [19:49] what program is Disk Utility? [19:49] Jordan_U, so this means blinky underscore is a symptom of no bootloader? [19:49] tpyo: Do you still have that chroot set up? [19:49] tpyo: Correct. [19:49] any body know? [19:49] which is odd cause I have another machine where it went blinky underscore after the bootloader D: [19:50] no i'd have to redo the chroot [19:50] but thats not too hard [19:50] tpyo: Please do. [19:50] is there a hard drive cool utility or somehting ? [19:51] Hello [19:51] blueblue22: I would highly recommend that you delete both ext4 partitions, leaving the free space available, and use the automatic partitioning option of the Ubuntu installer. [19:51] noflushd said it will not work with the new linux kernal [19:52] ya i figured that out hanks tho [19:52] perhaps if i use ext2 instead of ext 4? would that fix this ? [19:52] so ubuntu can install on ntfs partition? [19:52] also you cant set up a swap if you use the installer [19:52] does any one know anything about hard drives ? [19:52] Jordan_U, okay... now I need to INSTALL grub2 as opposed to just trying to update it? :) [19:52] which is garbageeeeeeeeeeeee [19:53] pinguy_: they contain magnetized disks [19:53] mark_: what do you mean with it faild to load? [19:53] Jordan_U, or am I poking about for a different reason? [19:53] On some mailing lists, I sometimes get messages such as [19:53] The voiceless bilabial nasal was a problem and I finally settled on using a dot [19:53] (over or under) for alll the voiceless sonorants: <ṁ>, <ḷ>, <ṙ>, and ȝ̇<ȝ with [19:53] overdot>. [19:53] pinguy_: lol, what exactly are you asking? [19:53] JoFo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:53] coolball, tanks ... [19:53] Which software could I use to easily convert the &#… into something readable? [19:53] blueblue22: Also delete any swap partition you may have made ahead of time. It's much easier to just let the installer create partitions as needed. [19:53] ya but you cant have a swao if you use the instaler [19:53] (I didn’t flood.) [19:53] to instal ubuntu in windowa [19:54] is that right> [19:54] ? [19:54] can i have a swap stil? [19:54] well, i would like to keep my laptop hard drive from staying heated when it is only sitting at the table (on ac power) and not being used.. i will come back from work or sleep or simply a couple of hours of being away from it and my hard drive is still heated... as if it never gets a break ... only in sleep mode and the like does it get a break [19:54] pinguy_: I know you can have 4 partitions and more if you make logical volumes [19:54] blueblue22: Yes. Ubuntu's installer will create a swap partition automatically. [19:54] trijntje: I had error messages in the jockey log telling me it was blacklisted or somesuch, hence searching for other drivers today and finding some that loaded...do you think I should try it again? [19:54] pinguy_: about the cooling? there are not any applications that 'cool' hard drives. there are applications that help you to monitor the tempature... [19:55] tpyo: Yes, but first I'd like to try to debug what went wrong during the install. [19:55] I want to boot my ubuntu 11 live cd without mouse drivers, how to do it ? [19:55] Jordan_U, awesome, I like your way of thinking [19:55] i have 3 coolball , swap, system and a partition for holding personal data... [19:55] tpyo: Can you run "debconf-show grub-pc" from within the chroot and pastebin the output? [19:55] trijntje: it failed again [19:55] really what size? [19:55] pinguy_: what tempature is your hard drive? [19:55] what size is the swao it creates? [19:56] yes, i have temp monitor rich. it has not over heated, it seems to me it should get a rest when i am not using it for extended time rlchl3086 .. temp currently = 109 f [19:56] how big wil the swap be? [19:56] trijntje: 2011-11-14 19:55:05,410 WARNING: /sys/module/wl/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind wl driver [19:57] does ubuntu install to ntfs fle system? [19:57] mark_: have you tried searching for the exact error message from the log? [19:57] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/738525 [19:57] blueblue22: no [19:57] blueblue22: swap twice your ram, I think the installer has an option to choose ntfs [19:57] need help configuring graphics card [19:57] what do i want to instal ubuntu to ext 4 right? [19:58] pinguy_: generally speaking, spinning your drives up and down is harder on them than leaving them spin [19:58] blueblue22: yes [19:58] pinguy_: so unless you have a specific reason to do so, like temperature or power management, i'd recommend leaving them on [19:58] blueblue22: What size swap the installer creates depends on what size drive you have IIRC. I would suggest that you just let it make it whatever size it wants. You can always change it later. [19:58] Hello, I have three hard disks in my PC, I can mount a disk by clicking on its label using Nautilus, or Disk Utility; however I am unsuccessful when using mount command on the shell to mount existing drive-partition. The drive location: /dev/sdc1 is listed when using blkid; Also listed when using fdisk -l but without any disk info; When entering: mount /dev/sdc1 /media/space2, I get a... [19:58] ...mount point does not exist error. Any insight? [19:59] how to add users in ubuntu 11.10 the graphical way ????? [19:59] blueblue22: Just use automatic partitioning. That will do everything needed for you. [19:59] how do i disable the buffered Virtual Terminal, I want the original VT ? [19:59] prashant_123456: configuration center -> useraccounts [20:00] demonax: for command line mounting, the mount point (which is just an empty directory) needs to exist already. gnome does this for you when using the GUI apps, but mount does not [20:00] Jordan_U, just for a bit of background, i have tried to install Ubunutu Studio and now Xubunutu on like 3 different laptops and i seem to get this problem in every case so any problem could relate to the two constants present: Me (being an idiot somehow) or the usb drive (that i've used for each installation) [20:00] so my whole drive is ntfs now and i wil start the installer [20:00] is that rght? [20:00] trijntje, i m using gnome === BlouBlou is now known as isnata === isnata is now known as BlouBlou [20:00] brjannc: Thank you kindly! [20:00] hmm, ok well then i will not concern myself as much about this ... warn bearings are my main concern ... [20:01] Jordan_U, although in the case where I installed to a non clean machine (it has win7 on it) grub2 installed fine, appears but if I load into ubuntu I just get blinky underscore, loading into win7 is still okay [20:01] prashant_123456: it should still have systemsettings [20:01] trijntje, ok thanks now i can see [20:01] thanks [20:01] trijntje, thanks [20:01] whole drive is ntfs now [20:01] tpyo: So it looks like Ubuntu's installer did install grub somewhere, but it may have been to a memory card rather than the internal drive. Can you pastebin the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/"? [20:01] is that okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [20:01] oops [20:02] prashant_123456: you're welcome [20:02] Jordan_U, is that still within the chroot? [20:02] blueblue22: Yes. That sounds good. [20:02] tpyo: Either way will give the same result. [20:04] hmm. will 11.10 get the new ff soon? [20:04] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/738535 [20:05] pinguy_: in my experience, bearings (and drives in general) typically give out during spin-up, because they're cold and under more stress when starting up. that's just anecdotal, but comes from lots of experience [20:06] hi I try to instal smplayer from central software ubuntu [20:06] thanks for the insight brjannc [20:06] tpyo: That means that the drive that grub was installed to is in fact still connected / inserted (though it may be a memory card). [20:07] pinguy_: sure thing [20:07] tpyo: Do you have a memory card plugged in at the moment? [20:07] Jordan_U, yes, I am running from it as this machine doesn't have a CD-ROM [20:08] and I give install they tell me I a error and after that they tell me to go on http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug === JoFo is now known as ^^ [20:08] !error [20:08] Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) === ^^ is now known as JoFo [20:08] Jordan_U, oh... i also still have an SD card in the system too.... i didn't realise that previously [20:09] Jordan_U, a 4.1 gb SD, did that show up in any of the previous logs? [20:09] so I try to instal smplayer and they tell me is a problem with the runing program [20:09] hi everyone [20:09] I need some help for Ubuntu Server Virtualation with qemuKVM [20:09] flo__: we need to know the exact error you get [20:09] Hey guys, I've got a red Triangle on the top of my screen, and it says that it fails to fetch extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneric/Release [20:10] could you help me [20:10] tpyo: I think it didn't show up in the boot info script output due to some bug in bootinfo script. [20:10] Jordan_U, so.... if I remove that SD card and re-install we might be living in peachy street you think? [20:11] Help needed in configuring nvidia geforce 4 420 that worked well with 9.10 through all upgrades to 10.04 [20:11] tpyo: Yes, but that's not neccessary. [20:11] hi, guys, anyone have some experinences about how to install ubuntu 11.10 on macbook pro 8.1? [20:11] when installed 11.10 yesterday, screen resolution degraded to 720x350 [20:11] the new version for 2011? [20:11] have not been able to sort this out [20:11] Help! [20:11] Jordan_U, well.... i'm looking for an easily repeatable process to learn ;) [20:12] tpyo: If your BIOS can boot from SD card you should be able to boot your Ubuntu install by selecting the SD card as the boot device. But that's not really important. To get grub installed to your internal drive instead go back to the chroot and run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". === lazy^ is now known as folivora [20:13] hello there I have a question about ubuntu Is there any "local teams" that hold live classrooms ? The reason why I ask is the other day I wnt downtown and handed out free live cd. and here are the 2 main questions that I got 1 so I just put this cd in my computer? and 2) where can I learn about this do you teach classes [20:13] anyone had any success with getting Asus N61Jq built in webcam working in ubuntu [20:14] how can I make alt+tab only switch through programs on the active desktop? [20:14] tpyo: That command will ask you some questions, if I remember correctly the first two will be about kernel parameters. Leave those two at their defaults (which may be blank) and continue on to the "install devices" question. At that question you should have the opportunity to uncheck your memory card as an install device and check your internal drive instead. To select / deselect a device use space bar, press enter when you're do [20:15] Jordan_U, dev/sda (checked) dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb? [20:15] Jordan_U, its not outputting the disk sizes so its difficult to tell :) [20:16] Jordan_U, and the output from bootdiskinfo called the two drives the same names [20:16] tpyo: Never a partition like sda1. Give me a second to look over the logs to see which is your internal drive. [20:16] Jordan_U, sdb is the usb I think === tottto-drummond is now known as tottto-ste-julie [20:17] make my second screen work [20:17] please [20:17] Jordan_U, unless this app is detecting only what is plugged in, in which case sda (as I have unplugged the sd card now) [20:17] Hello. Can anybody help me please to start manage mouse moving by keyboard in xfce? [20:17] tpyo: sda is your internal drive. sdb is the USB drive. [20:17] When i do a "sudo apt-get update" it fails to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneric/Release any one having the same problems? [20:18] great support in this joint. [20:19] Jordan_U, weird... if I select sda (already selected) it tells me that i have chosen not to install grub to any devices [20:19] my laptop refused to boot this morning after overheating but now does. how do I check that the file system's fine and so on? [20:19] Jordan_U, should I just choose sda1 for giggles? [20:20] is it possible that the reason my laptop's built-in webcam isn't working is that my video cards propietary drivers haven't been installed? [20:20] wow [20:20] we can use hard limit for qemu-kvm ? [20:20] tpyo: No. [20:20] I like lts version 10x more than the regular one [20:20] its just perfect [20:20] Hello Guys :) [20:20] Jordan_U, :).. okay, shall I just re-install without that troublesome SD card this time? [20:21] tpyo: Remember that it's space bar to select and deselect, *not* Enter. [20:21] ... Jordan_U .... looks sheepish... oh [20:21] My second screen doesn't work. I am using proprietary drivers put in by ubuntu on this new install. They are nvidia [20:21] Jordan_U, sorry, my bad [20:21] tpyo: Common mistake :) [20:21] Jordan_U, k its finished [20:22] Jordan_U, shall I reboot and enjoy life without a blinky underscore? [20:22] tpyo: You should be done now then. Try rebooting. [20:22] totem movie player is not working properly: i'm listening to a stream, and it's not fetching the correct metadata. it's still saying i'm listening to the song that played 50 minutes ago, when i started the stream. anyone have a fix? [20:23] anyone gotten ubuntu to work with a built in webcam? [20:23] yes [20:23] jboyjetgrl: works perfectly on my laptop [20:23] nobody knows the trouble I know [20:23] jboyjetgrl: do you have cheese installed? [20:23] hmm, mine doesn't work. yes i have cheese installed. [20:24] I accidently loaded a sinister LKM on my corporate server [20:24] jboyjetgrl: your webcam should be in /dev/video0 ... do you have that file? [20:24] I need to fix it before upper management finds out [20:25] yeah, it's there sandertje [20:25] Jordan_U, you are a gentleman, a scholar, a poet and a true example to all of humankind. You tolerated my stupidity and solved this problem of my own crafting while also providing me with the tools to analyse (probably poorly) my own future issues with installation. I thank you from the bottom of my heart to the tips of the heavens. I have now successfully booted into the wonderous world of Xubuntu from my HDD. [20:26] jboyjetgrl: if you go to cheese, edit->preferences... what does it say at device? [20:27] it's greyed out actually; not selectable [20:27] tpyo: You're welcome. And I would disagree that this was a problem of your own creation. Ubuntu's installer shouldn't have installed grub to your SD card, and I plan to file a bug report about it. [20:27] i did delete some files in /etc/freeradius and when i remove and purge its not coming back when i install it again. what can i do? [20:27] jboyjetgrl: same here, but does it say anything.... something like 'integrated laptop webcam' or along those lines? [20:28] no, it doesn't [20:29] i'm thinking perhaps it has something to do with my video drivers but i'm not sure. the propietary drivers aren't installed. [20:29] Jordan_U, oh really? have I been part of a use case that might save future generations of ubuntu installers from the same problem? If so, thats marvelously terrific. As opposed to time wasted this will become time well spent saving future generations this time. Most awesome! :) [20:29] for my ATI HD 5730 Radeon [20:29] tpyo: Indeed :) [20:30] Jordan_U, is there any more information you need from me to correctly file the report? [20:30] tpyo: No. [20:30] jboyjetgrl: that shouldn't matter..... [20:31] that's weird, it shows in dev folder but not in cheese [20:31] Jordan_U, hoorah!

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:45] TomSlominski, use sudo dpkg -i [20:46] sethetter: I thought OS X has Vim, even preinstalled, am I wrong? [20:47] robin0800: cheers, I'll try taking it from here [20:47] I've asked the same question once, that's not why. you should probably just get 64 bit if your computer supports it [20:47] theadmin: it does, but ive been venturing into unix programming recently and darwin has too many differences [20:47] sethetter: That would make sense [20:47] anyone know that you can connected nokia 6230 n [20:47] theadmin: so i wanted a real unix environment to work in, figured it was for the best as a web dev anyways [20:47] ubuntu: try gnokii [20:48] sethetter: I see. [20:48] apt-get update hangs waiting for header files when using a proxy to an apt-cacher server, where should I look to investigate this problem? [20:48] bye [20:48] I am having problems installing sun java on a remote 10.04 server: [20:48] is there a way for openssh to remember login name/pass ? [20:49] skypent: look at ssh-agent [20:49] root@h1968025:~# add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" [20:49] -bash: add-apt-repository: command not found [20:49] ikonia : thanks, will do. [20:49] Boreeas: Install the python-software-properties package first. [20:49] Boreeas: Teh... Try that: echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/partner.list === hhhh is now known as jt8is [20:50] hello.. [20:50] does the latest ubuntu has a driver for nvdia gtx siries? [20:52] where is users and groups in 11.10 im trying to add vboxuser to users and group [20:52] Hi there. I have a Ubuntu server that's running LTS. I'm seeing the NIC hang intermittently. If I down and up the interface it comes back. The NIC is a Intel 10G port with the ixgbe driver. Any thougts ? === max is now known as Visionaire [20:52] coucou [20:53] I've upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Straight after the upgrade things seemed to have worked well, until I rebooted. Since then, it's as if none of the configurations ever take place: none of the settings lasts between sessions, changing the settings through the GUI (such as switching to dual screen mode) doesn't take effect, new keybindings don't take effect. What should I do to find out what's wrong? [20:53] hi - can someone give me a hand getting MIDI to work [20:53] where are groups in this version of ubuntu?? [20:53] Accidus: if you're running an nvidia card and dual screens, open a terminal and sudo nvidia-settings .. make your changes and save the file. === Guest__5419 is now known as Guest__54191 [20:54] join #terminator [20:54] bah [20:54] ever since upgrading to 11.04, i've been unable to tab complete on the command line properly. It adds a space at the end of every tab completion. How do I fix this? [20:54] theadmin: Awesome, Thanks! [20:54] what's causing such odd behavior?? [20:54] Scunizi, it's not just the screens, but other things as well. (I'm not running nvidia though) [20:54] can I update to the latest ubuntu release and not lose all my files if I am currently on 10.04/ [20:54] rns: You can, but I suggest you do not. [20:55] theadmin, why not? [20:55] Scunizi, for example, setting the key bindings, or setting the window manager to be compiz [20:55] rns: I mean, you can upgrade to 10.10, then 11.04, then 11.10, but... It's painful and long and will give you tons of junk in your system (i.e. default apps from all those releases) [20:55] Accidus: not sure how to do dual screens on different cards but it might be the same. problem is most need to write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf to maintain the settings through a boot.. you can only do that manually or using the setup program via administrator/sudo [20:56] theadmin, is there a way to upgrade without losing my installed programs and other files? [20:56] rns: You can back up your /home, and as for programs - just reinstall them [20:56] !clone | rns [20:56] is there any way to organize many windows in workspace automagically? [20:56] !upgrade | rns [20:56] rns: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:56] rns: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:56] Accidus: I just did the upgrade and am still in the midst of configuring.. I still have Maverick on another harddrive I can get to if needed. [20:56] mfilipe: Are you looking for a tiling window manager?... [20:57] I get audio (e.g. from youtube) but can't seem to play midi files [20:57] theadmin, yes [20:57] Scunizi, dual screens worked perfectly before upgrade though. And again, it's not only about the dual screens. Another example: before the first reboot, when I was running a terminal the background was this shade of ubuntu purple. but now it's a shade of gray. [20:57] mfilipe: Tons of those around, some well known ones are awesome, dwm, i3, ratpoison [20:57] mfilipe: compiz cna put certain windows in on a certain workspace based [20:58] Scunizi, Erm, I'm not sure what you mean. I can't use your harddrive... [20:58] Hey, I have a live usb with ubuntu on it. But when I boot from it I get a screen that shows some basic system information, and then nothing happens. Am I doing anything wrong? [20:58] Hi all/ [20:58] Tried searching for it, but terms were too general to find anything.. [20:59] Hello. Can anybody help me please to start manage mouse moving by keyboard in xfce? [20:59] Accidus: yep.. things change.. I've rarely had a good experience with the upgrade route.. I typically do a fresh install and maintain access to my old install until I'm satisfied. I keep 1 harddrive for /home and one for root & swap.. [21:00] trijntje, compiz cna? [21:00] I'm a beginner with ubuntu, and I just have an issue doing the upgrade from 10.09 to 10.10. It hangs on a purple screen. My lapto is a Sony VPCF11M1E [21:00] Is there anyone who can help me? [21:00] I have a problem with Minecraft and the sun's JVM, I'm running Ubuntu version 11.10 When I try to launch minecraft, I've a black screen [21:00] ok. Well, any advice as to how to proceed? [21:00] Alvin1: There's no such thing as 10.09 [21:00] mfilipe: yeah, using the 'put' plugin [21:01] OK, the previous one [21:01] I thought it was 10.09 [21:01] Accidus: one question at a time to the channel.. gotta run. sorry. [21:01] hi, is there something like wifi-radar that shows in which direction the AP are ? [21:01] Gergov: not possible [21:01] Is there photo printing software for Ubuntu? [21:01] I am having problems with my ATI Radeon 9550 video card,when i install fglrx i get about 5 resolutions available,with open source i get only two.But the fglrx is litle lagy and kind slow,so is there a way to get more resolutions on open source drivers?Also i have noticed when i run the fedora 15 live cd it's seid Monitor error No valid EDID.How can i fix it? [21:02] Gergov: for a location you need more then 1 point [21:02] Alvin1: The Ubuntu versioning scheme is "year.month adjective animal", e.g. "10.04 Lucid Lynx" means that the version was released in April 2010. That's the one before 10.10, which was released October 2010. [21:02] Scunizi, thanks for your answer! [21:02] hello [21:02] trying to reinstall xserver-xorg from command line(root), keep getting unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ What do? [21:02] And now back to my original question: what to do? [21:03] OK, that must be it than. Sorry for my mistake [21:03] is there a live cd i can download that will do multiple whipes to my hard drive ? so that i can destroy the old stuff completely and start over ? [21:03] I'm quite sick and tired of 11.10 being crap compared to 11.04. Is there any solution to the gnome-terminal menubar issue other than downgrading or installing something other than Ubuntu? [21:03] localg0d: Google "dban". [21:03] iceroot, what do you mean by that? [21:03] localg0d: It's got nothing to do with Ubuntu, though, can't support that [21:04] localg0d: You can always boot the Ubuntu CD/DVD and run shred on the disk. [21:04] i know .. it's just i'm having issues with windows and ubuntu leaking onto eachothers partitions somehow and i dunno why so i was going to do a hard whipe and can't find ANY software for it [21:04] Gergov: how do you want to find the direction of the AP? its not possible because you need more then 1 point (ap) to get coordinates [21:04] shred ? === jamesastor-perri is now known as Coz === Coz is now known as Coz` [21:04] or a simple "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/... bs=512" will do as well [21:04] I have a problem with Minecraft and the sun's JVM, I'm running Ubuntu version 11.10 When I try to launch minecraft, I've a black screen [21:04] localg0d: Well, shredding isn't a good idea here -- I suggest dban because it's designed exactly for the purpose. [21:05] I hate to reask, but if I boot my ubuntu live usb all I get is some basic system information. Does anyone know whats going on? [21:05] Gergov: have a look at the wii-controller, there are good explanations out there how it is working with 2 points to get a direction [21:05] Gergov: but with only one point its not possible [21:05] Is there photo printing software for Ubuntu? [21:05] theadmin: may i msg u ? [21:05] localg0d: Most certainly yes. [21:06] Can you please help me? I fortgot to download my import files. [21:06] server irc.freenode.net [21:06] I am having problems with my ATI Radeon 9550 video card,when i install fglrx i get about 5 resolutions available,with open source i get only two.But the fglrx is litle lagy and kind slow,so is there a way to get more resolutions on open source drivers?Also i have noticed when i run the fedora 15 live cd it's seid Monitor error No valid EDID.How can i fix it? [21:06] eriaranth000: You're already on freenode. [21:06] Nobody can help me with my Minecraft problem ? [21:06] for what reasons would xubunutu boot into commnd line instead of the GUI? [21:07] mincraft hehe [21:07] It stucks on the purple screen saying Ubuntu and 5 red dots below it [21:07] :) [21:08] Hello, I am having trouble porting audio through Pulseaudio; how can I diagnose this problem?

[21:10] for some reason i get connection on here or when installing new apps but my browser refuses to load any page with exception to my homepage [21:10] I'm a beginner with ubuntu, and I just have an issue doing the upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. It hangs on a purple screen. My lapto is a Sony VPCF11M1E. What can I do? [21:11] Gergov: and i was naming you a common example where are good explanations how direction-detecing is working [21:12] Gergov: because it seems you dont understand why it is not possible to detect the location of a single ap [21:12] iceroot, aaah sorry :) i didnt understand you the first time :) thanks [21:12] hi, im looking for somebody from London :) little question. thx [21:13] !uk | cih997 [21:13] cih997: Join us for a discussion using the Queen's English in #ubuntu-uk [21:13] After a restart it keeps on hanging on a purple screen [21:13] iceroot: how can i check for these errors on bleachbit localizations pls === Robert_ is now known as Guest42831 [21:13] ph4nt0m_x: please what?

To participate, install the package "popularity-contest", and see http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucasNussbaum/PopconDraft [21:16] Is it possible to setup a system-wide proxy on linux?

Yup all sorts of separate (probably duplicates as well) reports on this. Hopefully something will settle soon. Will see about using pidgin for MSn use in the interim [21:20] [TK]D-Fender: the best fix is "dont use msn, use jabber" [21:20] Whay can't i send any message to #radeon? [21:20] I am new to ubuntu. How do I install wireless firmware onto my dell [21:20] nightwalkerkg: #freenode [21:21] theadmin, Can you help me out?

How do I install wireless firmware onto my dell [21:22] tovarishchump make sure it's not working already. have you testeed it [21:22] <[TK]D-Fender> theadmin, not sure quite what you meant there... [21:22] rich3:No it isn't working [21:22] [TK]D-Fender: no but its fixing the common issues with msn when microsoft is changing protocols, changing servers and so on [21:22] (Sorry, it was easy to set up a system wide proxy. For those who might be interested: http://is.gd/S4L3j0) [21:23] :) As there is no one else answering me [21:23] [TK]D-Fender: Jabber transports are services which allow you to use other IM networks through Jabber. Example Jabber address of an MSN-transported person would be something like: example%hotmail.com@msntransport.example.org [21:23] hi, i have a few questions about initramfs. 1. i booted up, and i ended up here. dmesg states - EXT4-fs (dm-1): error loading journal, no vaid journal superblock found. 2. what can i do get the system to boot up again. thanks [21:23] <[TK]D-Fender> theadmin, Well that requires an intermediary process which still uses the MSN protocol.

[21:24] this is ubuntu server [21:24] Tried to reboot and holding F2, but I don't know where to look at [21:24] theadmin: i dont not have that entry in initramfs prompt [21:24] tab tab shows, lots of basic utils, fscknot being one of them [21:24] tovarishchump try this. https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html [21:24] allowoverride: You won't, you need to use some other way to do it -- fsck from a liveusb or a livecd or whatever.

[21:31] Rotham_: You can just rename them to .zip and it should open like that [21:31] And how can ask someone questions to get me throught this upgrade? [21:32] theadmin: do you know if firefox will recognize it as an addon if it is named as a .zip? I have been using archive managers file roller to edit and quickly restart firefox to view changes... ? [21:32] Rotham_: Firefox won't, so you'll have to keep renaming forth and back but...

Way above my head [21:53] dweez: do you know how to ctl+alt on a mac? [21:53] hi there, a question about having multiple network interfaces. [21:53] does restarting the pc do anything?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:54] dibs: What tty is it loading to? Ctrl alt f7? [21:54] -p ?? [21:54] or -p -y [21:54] what is using so much cpu?

Also, why buy the mac in the first place? Anyway, you could probably look up some kind up dumb key combo to produce the alt function. [21:57] i bloody hope your wrong lol [21:57] has anyone successfully installed ubuntu when booted from a multiboot USB device created with YUMI? [21:58] elz89: ha, I guess I should look harder next time, fine print on the option key [21:58] dibs: How old is this computer, anyhow? [21:58] dibs, read this...maybe it will help you with the ctrl+alt thing ==> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1713900 [21:58] dibs: Nvm [21:58] sin45: work machine, not my choice [21:58] anyone good with fsck.ext4 syntax? [21:58] little help [21:58] dibs, oh, so elz89 got it figured out for you? [21:58] wee bit [21:58] sin45:can't switch tty though it seems, will reboot to recover and drop to root? [21:58] dibs: you all gravy baby? [21:59] elz89: still got a big blue stripey screen infront of me :| [21:59] dibs: s L n 45. You're running Ubuntu on your work computer? You have a mac as your work computer?! Also, I don't understand what you're asking. [21:59] dibs, on mac you need 'ctrl+alt+fn+brightness down key' [21:59] elz89: You character, you [22:00] sln45: I know I am not around much, mainly trying to work trivial crap out for myself, but when I am here I try to help ;-) [22:00] shit dude this is a total no hoper i cant install a terminal and i cant repair the packages cos i cant get into terminal to see the bloody error gutted :/ [22:00] elz89: sweet I can see it is switching but all of them are blue and illegible fonts [22:00] how do i get into recovery mode [22:00] ph4nt0m_x, you can't get a different tty either? [22:00] elz89: And the Community thanks you for it, comrade. [22:00] sln45: salut [22:00] dweez: nope it wont let me [22:00] sln45: ah that's easier L lol [22:01] dibs you on a vm? [22:01] i cant get what i want from my browser [22:01] dibs is on a VM with an OS X host [22:01] elz89: virtualBox [22:01] dibs: Did you install ubuntu recently? Or is it like elz89n asked? [22:01] dweez: Oooh [22:01] hang on dibs, what is your bideo memory size? [22:01] *video [22:01] dammit i just got the setup right too took me bloody ages [22:01] and, IIRC, dibs had no problems until upgrading to oneiric [22:01] I installed Natty and then while upgrading to Oneric my VB crashed and I have been trying to get gui on boot ever since [22:02] ph4nt0m_x: as with anything linux, with great power comes great responsibility :P gotta take care [22:02] I can startX from recovery console and all seems well but I am root which is not cool [22:02] dibs, did you uninstall the guest additions first before upgrade? [22:02] elz89: no? [22:02] dibs: Oneiric is heavy. Your computer probably can't handle it [22:02] dibs problem solved [22:02] last time i use bleachbit thats for sure lol [22:02] sln45: I'm pretty sure it can [22:03] dibs: it is just a school boy error. reinstall oneiric from fresh... [22:03] I tweaked my VirtualBox mem for my Ubuntu to 256MB [22:03] elz89: not here to reinstall, here to fix [22:03] dibs: Well, I won't claim to be an expert. I'm probably just unhelpful. I'll leave now, good luck [22:03] Bye y'all [22:03] l8r slack-m [22:03] er [22:03] sln45 [22:03] those 'vbox guest additions' need to come off before an upgrade. === woot1337 is now known as hak1 [22:03] sln45: you help is appreciated [22:03] ok guys thanls for all your help and suggestions im just gonna have to format ltrz [22:04] dibs, you aren't using a custom vid driver are you? [22:04] elz89: do you know if I can just apt-get uninstall vb.... [22:04] dibs: I don't get your remark? [22:04] apt-get should work fine to remove the additions [22:04] dweez: lowe it, I have told him what the problem is buddy. [22:04] but I never remove them before upgrading [22:04] elz89: I can't reinstall, no disc and no bandwidth. Need to work with what I have and fix [22:05] what does "lowe it" mean? [22:05] you got any snapshots? [22:05] dweez: urban dictionary it dude [22:05] Hmm, ok, I guess I could do that === PolitikerNEU_ is now known as Gamoder [22:05] how do I kill a php cli process??? [22:06] vacho, do you know the process id number? [22:06] vacho: find it's PID, then 'kill PID' [22:06] hello. does a repository equivalent to debian "testing" exist for ubuntu? [22:06] somewhere i can continuously keep my system up to date? [22:06] paaaaa: it is deb test kinda... [22:06] elz89: what is? [22:06] paaaaa: have you read anything about buntu? [22:07] elz89: Ok in root console I get "Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock" ideas? [22:07] paaaaa, standard repos in apt-get should be more than sufficient [22:07] paaaaa: that isn't what ubuntu is about [22:07] and you can run apt-get dist-upgrade as well [22:07] i read that the releases come out like every 6 months [22:07] paaaaa, you can install next development version of ubuntu [22:07] yeah, but patches are released all the time [22:07] paaaaa: What version do you have now? [22:08] oneiric [22:08] dibs: question, snapshots, read, answer. [22:08] i'm trying to figure out why my AWS Ubuntu instance went unresponsive. which log files can i start looking at ? [22:08] dibs: didn't yo momma never tell you to speak when spoken to... lol [22:08] paaaaa: honestly - if you're looking for bleeding edge you're using the wrong distribution [22:08] domino14: how did it react? [22:08] elz89: ? just trying to help [22:08] somsip: i couldn't ssh into it anymore [22:08] had to reboot it [22:08] domino14: how did you recover it? [22:08] paaaaa: there is a flavor of Linux Mint based on debian testing that might be to your liking: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1818 Obviously that's beyond the scope of #ubuntu, though [22:09] domino14: stop and restart, or reboot? [22:09] dweez, how do I find the pid? it's a PHP CLI [22:09] mcphail: What would you suggest? [22:09] elz89, [22:09] somsip: rebooted it thru the AWS console. no stop, just reboot [22:09] speaking of which... what is the most bleeding edge distro anyway. just out of curiosity. i prefer stability any day [22:09] dibs: that last thing you could have googled, and you still have not answered my question regarding snapshots. [22:09] i'm a debian user, i'm just setting up ubuntu for someone. and i was wondering if there was such a testing equivalent [22:09] vacho, type ps -aef | grep -i "php" [22:09] paaaaa: What you are asking for is what you have. [22:09] vacho: ? [22:09] domino14: what services are you running on it? [22:09] elz89, dweez I found the pid ow what? [22:09] Linuks83: probably gentoo or arch [22:09] usr13: debian, if you want that kind of experience [22:09] Hi, I have 2 laptops, both connected to a wireless network. One of the laptops has a USB disk attached an for media playing services I'd like to connect both laptops using a crosslink kabel. However, upon connecting both laptops lose connection to the internet (although still connected to the wireless network). [22:09] elz89: I don't have any snapshots [22:09] vacho, now type kill PID [22:09] somsip: i have Redis running on it, and whatever default random processes it came with [22:09] vacho: I told you [22:10] brjannc: cool. was thinking gentoo. didnt remember arch. :) thanks [22:10] hehe, sorry elz89, he's "focused" [22:10] Redis shouldnt be unstable … it's using 13.1% of the ram [22:10] Linuks83: Arch is... Gentoo is slow. [22:10] paaaaa: See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [22:10] done. [22:10] thx! [22:10] np [22:10] theadmin: thanks. :) [22:10] domino14: I have no experience of redis. Does it dump an error log? [22:10] paaaaa: the ubuntu+1 development model draws heavily on debian testing but it isn't really the same - it is working towards the next 6 monthly release [22:10] Linuks83: I use Arch and like it. [22:11] it should, but i saw no errors. im curious as to why the box just stopped responding. any general system level logs? [22:11] theadmin: what stands out about it to you? [22:11] dibs: so you have no backup of anything at all? [22:11] Linuks83: pm me, please, this is rather offtopic here. [22:11] elz89: nope [22:11] theadmin: certainly [22:11] domino14: /var/log/syslog is the one [22:12] dibs: I don't know what else to say to you really my friend... [22:12] elz89: k [22:14] dibs: stick about maybe someone might know later, I'm not big on VM's yet, can't afford a big enough homebrew server :-P [22:14] this is the last thing i saw in syslog (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) [22:14] before the freeze, but dont know how long before it [22:14] I just have 3 little ones that tinker along on debian nicely :-) [22:16] domino14: normal. TBH I'd work through all logs in there, but if you don't know whay you're looking for it can be tricky. If someone has hacked and crashed it, it could be auth.log. If a service has run away and taken it down, it could be {service}.log or /service/error.log [22:16] praten [22:18] dibs: Can you PasteBin your '/etc/grub/grub.cfg' file please. [22:19] dibs: you follow bud..? [22:20] elz89: just rebooting to root [22:20] Hello. Can anybody help me please to start manage mouse moving by keyboard in xfce? [22:22] How do i give my friend my public key? Where is it located, or what cmd should i issue to get it to a file? [22:22] jstoone it's in ~/.ssh [22:22] gido: thanks [22:22] id_rsa.pub [22:23] gido: There's only known_hosts [22:23] jstoone: have you already create your keys? [22:24] gido: Yea i used gpg... [22:24] dpress [22:24] jstoone ah that's different than what I thought. [22:25] I have a question regarding npviewer.bin. Which package is that installed under? Because with native 64-bit flash, I don't really need it, and it just hinders the performance of flash for me. [22:26] jstoone: I assume with gpg you specify the location of your key output right? [22:26] elz89: heh, non such file for /etc/grub/grub.cnf [22:27] dibs, I think he mean - /etc/grub/grub.conf :) [22:27] mentoc: gido "gpg --export -a "user" > public.key - just an example [22:27] jstoone: ah yes sorry, never used that before. [22:27] go8765: no such dir /etc/grub/ I think I'm in deep aren't I? [22:29] dibs, LOL.. wrong location! [22:29] go8765: its in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and should be edited directly [22:29] Anyone know why in Empathy, when I'm chatting with someone on the AOL protocol, it doesn't automatically scroll down the messages. I have to actually scroll with the mouse wheel to see what they said.. [22:29] shouldn't [22:29] jbrks: LMAO! [22:29] psychx-, maybe there's an option for that [22:30] dibs, /etc/default/grub, and then update-grub2 [22:30] jbrks: I haven't noticed one. I'll look again, but it seems like a bug. It doesn't always do it, but it's doing it right now on this session. [22:30] jstoone, maybe this is something: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto [22:30] jbrks: ty === sobe is now known as ebos [22:31] anyone know of a small, commandline, image viewer (like qiv) that can view urls? [22:31] psychx-, is there a language settings like left-to-right? [22:31] jbrks: hmm good idea, lemme check [22:32] nevermind, feh seems to work with urls [22:34] jbrks: No settings like that, but I think I'm switching to lubuntu tonight or tomorrow; so I'll just check how it runs after that. Might just be some weird bug with my software/hardware config. [22:35] <[dlp]> packagekitd is consuming far too much CPU time for my liking. [22:35] <[dlp]> Does anyone know how where it's generally invoked from? [22:36] i dont know any italic [22:36] why do you need one italic? [22:36] <[dlp]> Ideally I want to change its schedule. [22:36] Actually, I just wanted to say - this channel and group of volunteers is the best. Every time I come in here, everyone is so nice and helpful; it really says something about the linux/ubuntu community. [22:36] So thank you to everyone. [22:37] <[dlp]> I'm running Kubuntu, incidentally. [22:37] <[dlp]> I don't know yet if it's KDE that kicks it off. [22:37] [dlp], well maybe ya goota kick it in really hard!! :) [22:38] <[dlp]> I already tried chmod -x [22:38] * jbrks just reminded himself of the video "Kicked in the nuts" [22:38] what made you decide to run kubuntu if i may ask [22:38] is it still giving you permission problems dlp? [22:38] <[dlp]> Which I considered pretty brutal, but fine as a temporary measure. [22:39] <[dlp]> But it didn't even work :-s [22:39] may be stupid ? but did u try sudoing it :-o [22:39] <[dlp]> So I really don't know how it's being loaded. [22:39] <[dlp]> Of course :D [22:39] [dlp], i thought u can remove packagekit [22:39] [dlp], uninstall it [22:39] ^ [22:40] <[dlp]> What will I lose? Auto update checking? [22:40] [dlp], well you can update the system other ways.. [22:40] <[dlp]> Yeah I know. [22:41] [dlp], i don't know about "auto" updating.. and i don't think that's a good idea either.. [22:41] <[dlp]> I was using Debian for about 3 years before Ubuntu. [22:41] [dlp], btw.. packagekit i think is in debian as well.. [22:41] yea it is in debian [22:41] [dlp], apt/dpkg cli are still used even in 11.10 despite there's UbuntuCenterOne.. [22:42] [dlp], the cli still reflects <->UBCenterone [22:42] [dlp], so you're in safe ground if you want to use the cli tools [22:42] i have a machine with the new 11.10 but i never use centerone always end up using APT/dpkg [22:42] i guess its habit [22:42] <[dlp]> Yeah I use aptitude mostly. [22:43] Hey, I've just insalled ubuntu but can't get no sound, when I open sound preferences and hit hardware-tab I can't see any card or nothing, but in alsamixer I can [22:43] What could be wrong? [22:43] <[dlp]> There must be a way to change packagekitd's schedule. [22:43] ingela_, can't get no sounds means you get sound. What's the real problem here, you or that you don't sound soundful? [22:43] <[dlp]> Is it run as a cron job or something? [22:44] jbache, How much have you smoked? [22:44] jbrks, I don't talk double negative fool.. Speak clearly :) [22:44] jbrks, even [22:44] haha [22:44] <[dlp]> Doesn't look like it :/ [22:44] Are you talking to yourself jbrks [22:44] lol [22:44] <[dlp]> Does anyone know what runs it? [22:45] <[dlp]> I would've walked the process tree but it terminated before I got a chance. [22:45] [dlp], it's tought to kill that thing.. JUST uninstall it. [22:45] tough.. [22:45] Okay, so the languagebusting aside, anyone have any idea? [22:45] ,/,/ [22:45] "PackageKIT runs a process packagekid that is a daemon that runs per-system" [22:46] libpackagekit [22:46] ya.. it's probably that.. [22:46] apt-get remove that bastard [22:46] suppose not [22:46] ingela hold on lol [22:46] <[dlp]> It'll get purged. === HighlanderBlue is now known as BlueHen [22:46] hey dlp check this [22:46] ebos, aight [22:46] <[dlp]> But I don't really know what it does. [22:48] [dlp] i believe it's a new trend for support dbus.. === BlueHen is now known as HighlanderBlue [22:48] [dlp], problem when i was checking it out a year ago.. it was not possible to turn off it's notifications [22:48] why empathy, emsene or amsn won't connect msn protocol? [22:48] www.packagekit.org/pk-faq.html [22:48] did you check that? [22:49] slipttees: i think its because of a recent bug, but i'm not sure. you're not the only user with this problem. === HighlanderBlue is now known as BlueHen [22:49] slipttees: latest stable emesene does [22:49] [dlp], i think it's supposed to be a distribution-neutral thing for future linuxes.. [22:49] igela_, you cant get sound at all? is it detecting you card in the hardware? [22:49] xangua: emesene oneiric here [22:50] * jbrks notices "sessioninstaller" for debian6 [22:50] slipttees: http://blog.emesene.org/ [22:50] ebos, I can't find any in the window I get from the menu, but in alsamixer in terminal I can [22:51] <[dlp]> ebos: Yeah, I had a brief look. [22:51] And no, no sound comes at all.. [22:51] <[dlp]> It looks like there's something else checking for updates on my system, anyway. [22:51] xangua: ppa fot that? [22:51] for* [22:52] slipttees: yes [22:52] <[dlp]> ebos: In answer to your earlier question: because I like KDE. [22:52] <[dlp]> ebos: Even if it is fucked. [22:52] xangua: thanks [22:53] heres an idea dlp, cease all internet activites then run etheral and see where its grabbing the update from [22:53] only problem with that is you have to wait for it to update lol [22:54] <[dlp]> And that still won't tell me which process is doing the checking.

Want to only have grub2 but don't want to mess up my boot =) [22:54] anybody knows how configure cisco-vpnclient on Kernel 3.0 ? [22:54] nope, but after you find what ip and port its coming from. Google and see what the ip is. then try determine from there lol [22:55] <[dlp]> ggarri: Don't use it. Use vpnc instead. [22:55] slipttees: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" (marked on bold) [22:55] slipttees: and then just update and upgrade [22:55] why don't use it? [22:56] xangua: works : [22:56] xangua: thanks :D [22:56] <[dlp]> ggarri: The last version of the Cisco VPN client I saw was based on an ancient kernel API. [22:56] then [22:56] <[dlp]> The open source client will do everything you need. [22:56] how I configure a certificate pfc ? [22:56] <[dlp]> There's a GUI module for NetworkManager [22:57] <[dlp]> To confiugure it. [22:58] <[dlp]> The GUI will import a PCF file. [22:58] then [22:58] I have to install network-manager-vpnc ? [22:58] <[dlp]> Yep. [22:59] can you see one manual [22:59] and you tell me if this is possible to install with vpnc just [22:59] ??? [22:59] In Ubuntu 10.04, I am using the Chromium browser.

I'm using a English UK keyboard and my backtick key is the key to the left of 1 if that matters at all. Problem happens in all X apps. [23:05] hi! Does anyone out there know how to configure a USB/audio box? I'm trying to get the PreSonus AudioBox 22vsl working... [23:05] <[dlp]> ggarri: Ah, sorry. [23:06] <[dlp]> ggarri: Certificate based is more complex. [23:06] hehe [23:06] then ? [23:06] <[dlp]> ggarri: I think it can be done, but not sure how. [23:06] do you know how? [23:06] ok [23:08] is DCC supported on freenode? :) [23:08] <[dlp]> ggarri: Ah, it's not supported, according to the man page. [23:09] I figured the "no-backspace-for-back" on the web right now actually. It stopped working as a bug fix, but someone made a chrome extension to get the shortcut to work again. URL for extension is here if anyone is interested. http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/backspace-as-back-for-linux-2/ [23:10] <[dlp]> Hmm... it seems that Muon is now handling package updates. [23:11] <[dlp]> ggarri: You might be able to find a code patch for the Cisco client. [23:11] <[dlp]> ggarri: But I don't know what's change between the 2.6 and 3.0 kernels. [23:11] <[dlp]> ggarri: So good luck. [23:17] [dlp]: there were no earth-shaking changes in kernel 3.0 [23:17] Trying to do NIC Bonding but not there yet. Trying to bond eth0 and eth1 but only eth0 is showing up in ifconfig... [23:18] and it's not showing up as a slave. [23:18] Hi! When I try to change from openjdk-6-jre to openjdk-7-jre, it says "Depends: openjdk-7-jre-headless but it is not going to be installed". [23:19] Hello [23:19] hey i'm trying to install libspeex on ubuntu 8.04 JeOS...which package do i use? [23:19] kyan, how are you changing between them [23:19] libspeex1 isn't being recognized by ffmpeg [23:19] i have the same problem [23:20] What are the advantages of 64-bit, beyond support for >4GB RAM? [23:20] kyan, ohh you mean installing? [23:20] itaylor57: going into Synaptic Package Manager and choosing the openjdk-7-jre package and trying to mark it to be installed [23:20] itaylor57: yup [23:20] here's my workflow https://gist.github.com/97f1fe17b0270004e418 [23:20] libspeex1 isn't being recognized by ffmpeg even though i installed it with apt-get [23:20] Aric It's the future. [23:20] why is this? [23:20] itaylor57: I don't think I'll need openjdk-6-* after I install openjdk-7-* right? [23:20] i can't compile from source because the libspeex ./configure script produces a syntax error [23:21] itaylor57: I don't want to break anything but I've heard openjdk7 is faster [23:21] kyan, the funcions in 6 should be in 7 [23:21] plummerb: Isn't driver support lacking in it? Ubuntu site recommends 32-bit.. and I'm installing on many 6-7 year old computers so.. [23:21] Kyan That is telling you that you need a package called openjdk-7-jre-headless. [23:21] here's my trace from the libspeex ./configure https://gist.github.com/1365550 [23:21] itaylor57: thought so. [23:21] they do support 64 bit though, just figured drivers and maybe some software (?) are cons? [23:21] plummerb: I get a similar message when I select that package and mark it to be installed [23:22] Aric Well if you are installing on older computers then it's not really necessary. [23:22] kyan What is the error exactly? [23:22] plummerb: except it's saying it needs a different package. Which then says I need another, which then says I need the one before it. [23:22] kyan Yikes, sounds like a dependancy nightmare. [23:22] Hello, i,m trying to compile VLC player code source but it I get an error like "No package 'speexdsp' found" How can I resolve the problem ? [23:23] Hello, i,m trying to compile VLC player code source but it I get an error like "No package 'speexdsp' found" How can I resolve the problem ? [23:24] kyan What OS are you running? [23:24] plummerb: Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences. openjdk-7-jre: Depends: openjdk-7-jre-headless but it is not going to be installed Recommends: icedtea-netx but it is not going to be installed [23:24] plummerb: 10.10 (sort of) [23:24] zippzack24: install the dependancies required to build it [23:24] hello all [23:24] zippzack24: is there a reason you are installing from source instead of from the repos? [23:24] 10.10 sortof? [23:24] plummerb: I've tweaked it substantially and updated a lot of the packages that came with it [23:25] plummerb: I feel like I'm dealing with DLLs again :-D [23:25] plummerb: Haven't had that feeling for years… not since I switched to Ubuntu!! [23:25] kyan lol. yep. Are you trying to install OpenJDK through the Software Center? [23:25] histo : i can't find the package of speexdsp [23:26] Hey, I am on ubuntu 11.10, always get noisy sound while playing video in full screen mode, ex, youtube. Thx [23:26] plummerb: nope. Synaptic package manager [23:26] histo : i'd already installed the package speex [23:26] plummerb: I got rid of the software center long ago because I didn't want to try to figure out how to use it, and anyway it was a lot slower than Synaptic [23:26] I just recently switched from Debian to Ubuntu, and I was trying to remove memcached and mysql from startup, in Debian I could use 'update-rc.d xyz remove', but in Ubuntu I get the message '/etc/init.d/memcached exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)' and I'm not sure what to make of it. Any ideas? [23:26] plummerb: I might have used it once or twice, when it first came out… [23:27] zippzack24: you could try sudo apt-get build-dep vlc [23:27] can't beat apt-get/apt-cache [23:27] i have multiple laptops and desktops here at various levels of ubuntu. this current laptop i am on is 10.04. i have run 10.10 on other boxes here. should i stay at 10.04 or migrate to 10.10 on this laptop? it works pretty well so i am not sure. this is one of my most used laptops for administration purposes. [23:27] zippzack24: that should install the required packages to build it [23:27] apt-cache is useful but I prefer aptitude for some installations... [23:28] kyan No problem. Looks like Synaptic wants to install many items that OpenJDK 7 depends on. [23:28] plummerb: okaaay… they're all available though as far as I can see… :-p [23:28] histo : i've done that already [23:28] one other issue is the issue with installing java and what version to install etc...any procedures i can impliment for java? [23:28] kyan If you made significant manual tweaks to your system that may have affected the dependancies of the dependancies... Understand? [23:28] plummerb: lolwut? nope sorry. Noob alert!! [23:28] leftist: No one else can make that decision for you. I'm running 11.10 on my laptop, works great. I did a minimal install and built my setup without Unity and used openbox and awesome instead [23:29] zippzack24: possibly try a speex dev package or ask the vlc people [23:29] histo : ok thanx [23:29] kyan For example, default-jre-headless may depend on a package you manually removed. [23:29] yeah i know danthebeastman. well i think i will move to 10.10 on this one right now. thanks [23:29] plummerb: do you mean that the packages that openjdk-7-jre depends on may have been altered by other manual changes that prevent them from being used with openjdk-7-jre? [23:29] zippzack24: /j #videolan [23:29] plummerb: ahhh. Well let me see… [23:29] kyan That's it. [23:29] ok, where is the grub menu 1st list stored these days in what file /boot/... [23:30] i could always regress back to Hoardy :D [23:30] plummerb: openjdk-7-jre-headless: Depends: openjdk-7-jre-lib but it is not going to be installed [23:30] I am on ubuntu 11.10, always get noisy sound while playing video in FULL screen mode, ex, youtube. anyone? any idea? [23:30] plummerb: openjdk-7-jre-lib: Depends: openjdk-7-jre-headless but it is not going to be installed [23:30] laog: define noisy sound [23:30] !grub2 | allowoverride [23:30] allowoverride: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [23:30] if anyone needs help pm me [23:30] plummerb: I smell a loop [23:30] ok, where is the grub menu 1st list stored these days in what file /boot/... [23:30] allowoverride: basically you edit /etc/default/grub [23:30] tnks [23:30] plummerb: or something of the sort [23:30] !rss [23:31] allowoverride: then you sudo update-grub === fmancinelli is now known as xenon75 [23:31] k [23:31] tnks [23:31] * kyan is confused [23:32] Any recommend a good command line rss newsreader? [23:32] kyan Yes, looks like Synaptic isn't able to resolve the dependancies correctly. You may have to manually install. [23:32] plummerb: Eh, hmm… [23:32] plummerb: last time I tried manually installing something I broke the entire system :-P [23:34] deej1976: cli-apps.org has a great list of command line apps [23:34] plummerb: I'd *much* rather try to get synaptic working properly…!! :-D [23:34] any ideas on removing services from init boot? [23:34] plummerb: I'm not quite sure what the missing dependency could be because the dependencies all seem to work out and be availabel for installation. [23:34] um, available [23:34] kyan When you mark openjkd-7-jre for install you get that error? [23:34] histo: Looked for snownews, but it's not in 11.10 [23:34] kyan: yes. [23:35] plummerb: yes. Oops, fail… [23:35] plummerb: Sure sign of an egotist… [23:35] kyan: have you refreshed the sources list? [23:35] does wine work with aall exr files? [23:35] mcphail: I ran sudo apt-get update [23:35] Was about to suggest that. [23:35] Maybe an odd question, but is it possible to use xkeymap to remap a specific device? I have a USB keypad which I'd like to repurpose as a sort of media remote, without affecting other input devices on the system. [23:35] im [23:35] mcphail: I'm not sure whether I need to do it again or some other way or something… [23:36] mcphail, plummerb: Perhaps I do, but the way I did it has always worked for me before. [23:36] kyan: no - that should be fine if you did it recenntly [23:36] I want to use a windows usb iso maker can't do it because the program won't open. [23:36] mcphail: did it right after adding the ppa. [23:37] deej1976: newsbeuter [23:37] mcphail: which was just about 15 minutes ago. === nils- is now known as nils_ [23:38] kyan What ppa did you add? [23:39] plummerb: openjdk/maverick [23:39] kyan: moving away from the default sources.list is dragon territory [23:40] mcphail: well I have about a million ppas and other sources enabled (more than a screenload) so that might just be making things a little bit tricky :-p [23:40] kyan Yes, openjdk should already be available in the default sources... [23:40] plummerb: openjdk-6-* was but not openjdk-7-*. [23:40] plummerb: which was why I added the ppa in the first place. [23:40] kyan: i think you've self-diagnosed your problem! [23:41] hi all, i am a linux newb [23:41] mcphail: ummm… I missed it :-D [23:42] mcphail: what I've done seemed sensible enough to me!! [23:42] i have a question about wireless on my laptop, it works fine under fedora but not in ubuntu and i much prefer ubuntu :( [23:42] Hello everyone [23:42] hi kat [23:42] Hey thorm, how's your day today? [23:43] unity hangs after a couple of minutes when using nouveau, anyone have any ideas of what I could try? [23:43] fair - how is yours kat? [23:43] mcphail: is the problem that I need to update the one installed from the default source to the openjdk-6-* provided by the ppa, and then make the change? [23:43] kyan: relying on a ppa maintainer to sort out dependencies is like trying to install something is SuSE8.2. apt-get/synaptic aren't magic bullets: they rely on the distro maintainers being sensible [23:43] mcphail: Never used SuSE 8.2 :-D Now I don't think I will…!! [23:43] whats the best way to record desktop [23:44] mcphail: I like magic bullets T.T [23:44] My day is going well, thanks for asking. [23:44] * kyan is sad that his magic bullets don't work [23:44] kyan: any reason you're stuck on 10.10? [23:44] i have one of those [23:44] hello all [23:44] i use it to grind coffie [23:44] Hello Anon [23:45] kyan: if you're drowning in ppa's you might be better upgrading... [23:45] hello kat, what's the topic? [23:45] I agree with mcphail [23:45] coffe [23:45] coffee [23:46] no one knows [23:47] hello? [23:47] hello anon [23:47] what's the topic? [23:48] mcphail: Don't want to break anything I guess. I'm familiar with it. I don't want Unity, I don't want Gnome 3, I don't want lots of the new fancy stuff. The times I have upgraded have always been total nightmares so I'm holding off for the most part mostly. I posted a bit of an explanation of why I don't upgrade here: http://ephemurl.com/7d/v7u [23:48] for me? why my wireless works on fedora but not ubuntu === fmancinelli is now known as xenon75_ [23:48] Maybe an odd question, but is it possible to use xmodmap to remap a specific device? I have a USB keypad which I'd like to repurpose as a sort of media remote, without affecting other input devices on the system. [23:48] where can i investigate the cause for my system crash after i rebooted? [23:49] Hi All. I did an install today of 11.10 and used the encrypted home directory option. I'm trying to find out more about how this works and striking out on Google. What cipher/mode/digest is used, and can these options be changed? [23:50] Ok. Time for my question. I need help setting up NIC Bonding in 11.10 server. I installed ifenslave, added bonding module to /etc/modules and edited /etc/network/interfaces but no joy. ifconfig only shows bond0 and eth0. [23:50] Benkinooby, you might find some information in /var/log/messages if the system crashed in such a way that there were error reports before it died. [23:53] Linceo, thx... didn't find anything that looks like crash there... will come back to it an other day [23:53] Linceo, thank you for your hint [23:54] Dang! Can't do *anything* with the JREs without either installing the nonfree Sun one or removing all the Java-using programs… :_P [23:56] It's about time I solved this: every time I plug/unplug my power adapter to my laptop, and every time I wake my computer up from being supended, it immediately goes back to sleep. Does my computer have sleep apnea? [23:56] fully_human: that made me laugh. thanks for that ;) [23:59] Anyone have a clue how to get Realtek RTL8187 wireless adapters working with Ubuntu 11.10?
